300mm Shearbox

Our three large shearbox machines enable us to provide a rapid turnaround for granular materials whilst simultaneously performing tests on cohesive soils, which can take much longer to complete. 

As well as testing soils and aggregates, we have considerable experience in testing soil/geotextile interfaces. 

UKAS accreditation is held for shear box and large-scale horizontal permeability for testing granular materials.

100mm & 60mm Shearbox

As a group we have a total of 12 number 60mm and 100mm shearbox machines.

This gives us the flexibility to perform testing on granular and cohesive materials simultaneously.
