Trial Mix

It's important to get the right mix for your concrete. The purpose of concrete trial mixes is to enable you to check the strength, workability, density and other properties of concrete mixes. Trial mixes are often undertaken when new materials or admixtures are to be used. Trials are also undertaken when setting up batch data. Trial mixes can help you maximize all the materials in the mix and is important for mix optimization.

We have trained laboratory technicians who can assist in trials or if you would rather we can do all the work for you. If no assistance is required that is fine too (subject to adequate training). We will do all we can to assist with the collection of all materials making sure there is enough, keeping on a good time scale and making sure all work is completed to the highest quality.

Require a laboratory and technical assistance?

You are able to rent our laboratory facilities and trained technicians to aid you in the development of your concrete mixes.

Basic trial mixes themselves are straightforward provided you have the correct equipment and training. The more that gets added the more technically difficult it becomes.

To complete trials on your behalf we would require the following:

• sand
• cement
• gravel
• fibres (optional)
• admixtures (optional)
