Whether it’s rock, soil, water, or mine slurry, our research and testing laboratories provide detailed physical and chemical characterisation services to our clients across the globe.
With more than 40 years of experience, our laboratories utilise our extensive database of information to quickly validate test samples and results. We enhance the quality of our services by collecting empirical data that provides relevant information on the physical and chemical characteristics of pulp, water, and soil samples for the projects we design.
Our team adopts the latest technologies and procedures to provide specialised rock, soil, water, and mine slurry testing services. We also provide tailored solutions to meet the design needs for specific projects.
Our laboratory services include field tests performed in accordance with international, local, and industry-specific standards or client specifications.
The key testing services we offer include:
- Characterization of soils
- Particle size determination and classification
- Specific gravity
- Form factor
- Optic microscopy
- Characterization of slurries
- Rheology
- Slump test
- Integrity and operations
- Electrochemical corrosion
- Biocorrosion
- Physiochemical characterization of water
- Additive assessment
- Vacuum filtration
In addition, we perform geotechnical tests such as Atterberg limits, Proctor, humidity and salt content, and density of soils. Our laboratories perform these procedures following ASTM standards. Some examples include:
- Triaxial tests
- Large-scale direct shear tests
- Permeability tests – rigid wall
- Permeability tests – flexible wall
- Puncture tests
- Consolidation tests
- Punctual load tests
- Standard tests for soil classifications
With laboratories in Brazil, Chile, and Peru, we provide comprehensive services to support our clients’ projects wherever they are located.
