QLD YMN | Site Tour & Networking
The IQA Qld Branch invites Young Members to participate in a Site Tour of the Groundwork Plus Aggregate Testing Laboratory followed by a debrief/networking session.

 

The IQA QLD YMN  Site Tour will provide an opportunity to  view and learn what happens in the Groundwork Plus Aggregate Testing Laboratory. 

*Several tests will be conducted during this tour and participants will be able to ask questions.

The Groundwork Plus Aggregate Testing Laboratory is a National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) accredited in-house testing facility located in Brendale.  It caters for the quarry and associated industries, offering a range of aggregate and soil tests, and sampling to both Australian Standards and Queensland Main Roads methods.

Tour guide and labs Business Manager, Dave Gregson, and qualified staff including Steve Bird (formally CQA/SGS) have been testing aggregates for over 18 years supplying services for high priority, overflow, specialised testing.   The laboratory space features new equipment in a temperature-controlled environment for aggregate specific testing, including PAFV testing (one of only 6 labs in Qld and 10 in Australia who do this testing), and Petrographic Reporting (one of only 3 labs in Qld to do this testing).

Some of our specialised test equipment includes the below.

  • Laboratory Jaw Crusher 6 x 5 - Capable of crushing 150mm spalls to all sized testable fractions while maintaining good particle shape. A cost-effective option with trails conducted within the laboratory, before lengthy changes to equipment onsite.

  • Compression Machine – Testing of Wet Strength / Dry Strength / Variation of source rock and coarse aggregate and road bases ensuring compliance and confidence for the end user.
