TD Construction Testing

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
