Aggregate Testing in Madinah — Basaltic Aggregate Quality Control
Madinah's proximity to Harrat Rahat volcanic field provides abundant dark basaltic aggregate with high hardness and density exceeding limestone. ASAS Lab classifies basalt for each application: LA abrasion (≤ 25% for structural concrete), apparent density (≥ 2.6 g/cm³), flakiness index (≤ 25%), and clay/fine content testing. Prophet's Mosque expansion and surrounding infrastructure projects require C40+ concrete-grade aggregate with zero alkali-reactive minerals. BS EN 12620 compliance certificates issued within 5 days.

FAQ About Aggregate Testing
For concrete: gradation (ASTM C136), specific gravity & absorption (ASTM C127/C128), clay lumps (ASTM C142), and abrasion resistance (ASTM C131). Asphalt additionally requires magnesium sulfate soundness (ASTM C88).
