Product Testing and Industry Compliance

Given the difficulty to conduct field tests in operational environments, as well as the high variability of mine ventilation conditions and gas generation rates, Aquacrete has employed a range of ongoing product testing procedures to provide customers with the assurance that Aquacrete products comply with the most stringent industry specifications.

In addition to live blast testing by a National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) certified laboratory, Aquacrete products regularly undergo tests to determine product strength, over-pressure ratings, fire resistance, diffusivity properties and water permeability ratings.

As a further means of ensuring that Aquacrete products consistently comply with the required standards, Aquacrete periodically co-ordinates live testing of product by simulating product application. Core samples are analysed by an independent NATA accredited laboratory to obtain compliance verification with the following:

AS 1012.14: Method for securing and testing cores from hardened concrete for compressive strength

AS 1012.9: Determination of the compressive strength of concrete specimens
