Testing of certified construction materials

Bituminous mixtures and inert materials are tested at the SIA “ACBR” road construction materials laboratory “Burzava”. In 2010, the laboratory was accredited by the Latvian National Accreditation Bureau (LATTAK), entitling it to conduct bituminous mixture and mineral sample taking and mechanical and physical property testing.

“Burzava” road construction materials laboratory is a vastly experienced laboratory whose operations date back to the time of the founding of SIA “ACBR”. The laboratory conducts tests for both internal and external requirements.

Principal criterion for the services provided by the laboratory: quality and precision. The laboratory is accredited with LATAK allocated no. 380, for both bituminous mixture and mineral tests.
