Quality control
Our goal is to provide the highest quality and most consistent material possible to our customers.
To ensure that we accomplish this goal, we perform the following quality control tests on our raw material and aggregate in our labs at our Gold Hill and Aquadale production facilities each week:
50 raw material gradation tests
85 finished product QC gradation, density and moisture content tests
- 100 production QC gradation and density tests
60 finished product QC relative density tests
200 production QC relative density tests
840 production QC density analysis tests
1,335 Total QC tests performed each week
We also perform a number of other tests on our aggregate to demonstrate compliance with specifications.
Consistency of Material Properties
We have statistically analyzed our relative density and gradation test results since 2003 for each size of coarse aggregate that we produce. The results, demonstrate the success of our commitment to quality and consistency.
