Aggregate Testing
Gecan tests the physical properties of the aggregate, such as gradation, fracture, and durability. These tests help ensure the integrity of hot mix, chip seal, cold in-place recycling and other road construction projects. We can test aggregate according to different testing protocols as required, including Alberta Transportation Test Procedures, Transportation Laboratory Tests, ASTM and AASHTO.
