Material Testing (Site Level)

Ensuring quality through rigorous on-site verification

Material Testing On-Site

🧱 Concrete (On-Site)

  • •Slump Test – To check workability before pouring
  • •Concrete Cube Casting – For strength checking (7 & 28 days)
  • •Visual Check of Concrete – Segregation, bleeding, consistency

🧪 Cement (Basic Checks)

  • •Date & Grade Verification
  • •Hand Feel Test – Smoothness and lumps
  • •Colour Check – Uniform grey colour
  • •Float Test – Cement should sink, not float

🪨 Aggregates (On-Site)

  • •Sieve Check (Manual) – Size and cleanliness
  • •Visual Inspection – Dust, clay, organic matter
  • •Water Absorption Check – Simple soaking method

🔩 Steel (Reinforcement)

  • •Diameter & Length Check
  • •Brand & Grade Verification (Fe 500 / Fe 500D)
  • •Bend Test (Manual) – No cracks after bending
  • •Rust Inspection

🌍 Soil (Foundation Level)

  • •Field Identification Test – Clay / sand / silt
  • •Moisture Check by Hand
  • •Simple Load Test (Plate/Field check)
  • •Visual Bearing Observation during Excavation
