Testing of asphalt concrete and road materials

MATTEST performs laboratory control of asphalt mixes, finished pavement and the main components. The tests verify production quality, degree of pavement compaction, mix composition and compliance with project requirements.

Core sampling has no separate SEO page: it is described as a stage of compaction control and comprehensive testing.

On-site asphalt concrete control

Applicable standards

For traditional asphalt concrete methods, GOST 12801-98 is the base confirmed document. GOST 33133-2014 sets requirements for viscous road bitumens, GOST 32761-2014 — requirements for mineral powder; test methods are specified by separate standards. Russian GOST R and PNST are not passed off as Uzbek standards and are applied only on a specific project justification.
