TD now have the most comprehensive @UKAS accredited scope of Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) testing of bitumen, after becoming the ONLY testing laboratory to hold accreditation for these 3 methods: ⚫️Complex Shear Modulus and Phase Angle – BS EN 14770:2023 🟢 T(VET) & G*(VET) - CD227 (E/2) Design for Pavement Maintenance, Version 0.1.0 (September 2025) ⚫️Multiple Stress Creep and Recovery Test (MSCRT) - BS EN 16659:2015 The results and information obtained from this testing can: 🟢 Support accurate maintenance planning and help determine the most appropriate intervention for aged surfacing ⚫️ Assess rutting resistance under varying load conditions 🟢 Support product development, R&D, or project‑specific investigations Achieving this capability has required a tremendous level of technical development, alongside significant investment in specialist equipment, expertise, and quality systems. The result is a premium, industry-leading service that supports more accurate characterisation of bitumen performance, ultimately contributing to longer-lasting and more sustainable road infrastructure. This advancement places TD at the forefront of UK materials testing, aligning with evolving standards and enabling clients to meet increasingly demanding performance specifications. If you would like to discuss how we can support your testing requirements on any upcoming projects, please feel free to get in touch and we'd be happy to assist: 📞 01744 734 769 📧 enquiries@tdconstructiontesting.co.uk ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ #TD #tdct #ensuringqualityinconstruction #UKAS #8011 #testing #laboratory #site #bitumen #binder #bituminous #asphalt #Rheology #DynamicShearRheometer #DSR #TVET #GVET #MSCR #materialstesting #pavements #roads #highways #investigation #design #construction #civilengineering #socialmedia #X

This has been our 3rd year, partnering with @civilrem_uk, to roll out this award-winning* Plant Simulator Programme to schools in the St Helens area. *Recognised by @CECANW for Innovation in the Promotion of Civil Engineering Careers, at their Annual Awards Dinner in 2024. 🚛 👩‍🏫 🎮🕹️ 🎓 🏗️ This year, our annual sponsorship period has seen the simulator go to: @rainhillhigh (Rainhill) @OutwoodHaydock (Haydock) Progress Arc (Billinge) Ascent College (Newton-le-Willows) The programme is aimed at sparking students interest in the construction & civil engineering industry, by letting them know about the different career options that are available. As with previous years, it has proven to be a great success, with extremely positive feedback. Students, and teachers, have loved having it at their schools, and it has put the industry in the spotlight for students who otherwise wouldn’t have been considering it as a career option. 👷‍♂️🏗️🦺🚧👷‍♀️ Would you like the simulator at your school? 🤔 Would you like to sponsor the simulator and send it to schools in your area? 💭 If anyone would like to know more or get involved, please drop a comment below and someone will get in touch. 👇 ⚫️🟢 @sthelenscouncil @YouthFederation @GoConstructUK @CITB_UK #TD #ensuringqualityinconstruction #UKAS #testing #laboratory #soil #aggregate #concrete #asphalt #bitumen #materialstesting #earthworks #stabilisation #pavements #roads #highways #rail #structures #construction #civilengineering #socialmedia #X #local #schools #sthelens #initiative #career #simulator #awardwinning

This photo was taken in the UK, where signs of pavement deformation are becoming increasingly common during warmer periods. What was once considered an occasional challenge is gradually becoming a more frequent asset management concern. As average temperatures continue to rise and heatwaves become more intense, the traditional indicators of bitumen quality, such as needle penetration and softening point, remain important, but are they enough on their own to predict field performance? While needle penetration helps us understand binder consistency, and softening point provides an indication of temperature susceptibility, MSCR (Multiple Stress Creep Recovery) goes a step further by measuring a binder's resistance to permanent deformation and its elastic recovery under repeated loading at elevated temperatures. It is a performance-related properties tester. For pavement engineers, local authorities, contractors, and material suppliers, the question is no longer just about meeting specification requirements; it's about ensuring long-term performance in a climate that is evolving faster than many of our standards. As temperatures continue to challenge our road networks, incorporating tests such as MSCR alongside penetration and softening point can provide a more complete picture of how a binder is likely to perform in service. The road in this picture is telling a story. The question is: Are we listening? At @TDConstTesting, we help the industry move beyond traditional binder characterisation by providing advanced performance testing, including MSCR, to support more durable and resilient pavement solutions.
