The PSL laboratory provides a full range of Laboratory Testing solutions for soil, rock and aggregates that meet the relevant British and European standards.
Soil testing is the analysis and measurement of the material characteristics, composition, and behaviour of a variety of materials used in construction projects. Construction materials and components could include the classification testing of aggregates, soils, rocks, and concrete.
Using sophisticated soils testing machines, including:
- Automated Ring Shears
- Effective Stress Systems
- Permeability Systems
- ACONS Consolidation
- Large and Small Shear Boxes
We take a sample of the required material whether this is soil rock or aggregates and analyse it in our UKAS 4043 accredited laboratory with a series of standardised tests. (Our accreditation is limited to those activities described on our UKAS 4043 schedule of accreditation).
We then produce results breakdown from the data in a detailed but simple report. This is available for you to download online, anywhere and anytime.

Small Shear Boxes
Large Shear Boxes
Many large-scale construction projects require the correct testing of material properties by licensed professionals to meet regulatory requirements. This includes - soil laboratory testing, rock laboratory testing and aggregates laboratory testing.
- Ensuring the materials are suitable for the required uses
- Identification of possible areas of concern
- Adhering to quality and legal requirements
- Keeping your project compliant
- Reducing the risk of future financial penalties
- Completing projects to budget and deadlines
