At Heidelberg Materials, technical and testing services are more than a function, they are fundamental to how we deliver quality, reliability and high performance for our customers.

Backed by over 70 years of experience in Australia and supported by an extensive global research and development network, our teams combine strong technical expertise with local knowledge to support a wide range of projects and construction applications.

Our approach is hands-on and collaborative, where our customers have access to field testing and dedicated technical support to help solve challenges, refine performance and develop customised mix designs tailored to specific project requirements. Through Hub, customers can also access in-house test results and project data as part of our commitment to making it easier for customers to do business with us.

From initial mix design through to real-time site support, we bring together expert people, data and capability to ensure materials perform as expected, supporting consistent, high-quality outcomes across every project. 

Our capabilities

We provide a comprehensive range of technical and testing services to support concrete, aggregates and construction materials across all project stages from design through to final delivery.

Concrete testing

 

Our laboratories and field teams conduct testing across fresh and hardened concrete to ensure performance, compliance and consistency. 

 

Concrete testing services include:

  • Compressive and flexural strength
  • Slump and flow testing
  • Air content and density
  • Temperature and maturity monitoring
  • Setting time
  • Shrinkage
  • Trial mixes
  • Core tests
  • And more
Aggregate testing

 

We test aggregates and quarry materials to verify quality, durability and suitability for use in construction and infrastructure applications. 

 

Aggregate testing services include:

  • Particle size distribution (grading)
  • Aggregate strength
  • Moisture content and absorption
  • Density and compaction
  • Flakiness and shape testing
  • Pavement and base material performance
  • And more
