Field Density & Bearing capacity

In-situ measurements of soil density are often performed through the volume sand replacement method or balloon method with water. CONTROLS offers a complete range of equipment fully compliant with ASTM, AASTHO, NF, and BS Standards. Other products for measuring in-situ such as Surface Soil Samplers and Piston Volumometer density are also available.

Bearing Plate Apparatus are used for estimating the bearing capacity of soil under field loading conditions for a specific loading plate. They also cover load tests on soil and flexible pavement components, for use in the evaluation and design of airport and highway pavements. CONTROLS provides a vast range of bearing plate capacity equipment fully conforming to BS, ASTM, and CNR standards, available as either analog, digital, or electronic versions.
