Testing capabilities
Soil classification and physical properties
Current A rows include moisture/water content, chalk saturation moisture, liquid/plastic limits, plasticity/liquidity indices, density, wet-sieved and hydrometer particle-size distribution, uniformity coefficient and gas-jar particle density. Issue 040 also lists modified plasticity index under NHBC Standards, April 2010, Chapter 4.2. Separate BS EN ISO 17892 water-content and bulk-density rows are specified. Confirm the exact method and edition.
Soil compaction and laboratory CBR
The Huntingdon A scope includes dry-density/moisture or water relationships using specified rammer/vibrating-hammer methods, MCV at natural content and MCV/content relationships. Laboratory CBR is listed with loads from 0.2 to 50 kN under the stated BS 1377 rows. Away-site plate testing and plate-derived nominal CBR are B activities and are not this laboratory method.
Undrained triaxial, consolidation and permeability
Current A rows specify one-dimensional consolidation under BS 1377-5:1990 and permeability in a triaxial cell under BS 1377-6:1990. BS 1377-7:1990 undrained triaxial tests without pore-pressure measurement are listed separately for single and multistage loading, each with 0.2 to 10 kN loads. The broader owner list does not establish accredited current A unconfined compression, falling-head permeability or soil/water chemistry.
Aggregate physical testing
Current A rows include dry/soaked ten per cent fines, uniformity coefficient, grading, flakiness, Los Angeles fragmentation, density/water absorption, oven water content and magnesium sulphate. The ten per cent fines rows specify particles 10 mm and greater and 40 to 2000 kN loads. Density/absorption techniques have separate particle-fraction restrictions. Agree the exact standard, fraction, preparation and method.
Hardened-concrete cube strength and density
Location A includes compressive strength of hardened-concrete cubes including curing, with 40 to 2000 kN loads under BS EN 12390-3:2019, -1:2021 and -2:2019. Concrete density is separately listed under BS EN 12390-7:2019. This row-specific strength range is not a shared apparatus or general structural test capacity.
Equipment and published limits
| Specification | Published value | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Aggregate ten per cent fines conditions | Dry and soaked rows: 40 to 2000 kN, particles 10 mm and greater | Exact A rows under BS 812-111:1990. These conditions apply separately to the listed aggregate methods and do not establish apparatus counts, generic load capacity or other aggregate fractions. |
| Concrete cube strength conditions | 40 to 2000 kN for the specified cube-strength row including curing | Exact A row under BS EN 12390-3:2019, -1:2021 and -2:2019. Its range is separate from aggregate testing and does not imply shared equipment, simultaneous maximum capability or all concrete specimen types. |
| Laboratory CBR conditions | 0.2 to 50 kN | Exact A CBR row under BS 1377-4:1990 and BS 1377-2:2022. Site B plate testing and plate-derived nominal CBR remain different procedures. No broader frame capacity is inferred. |
| Single-loading undrained triaxial conditions | 0.2 to 10 kN, without pore-pressure measurement | Exact A BS 1377-7:1990 row without multistage loading. Confirm specimen, configuration and preparation, without treating this method range as apparatus count or general capacity. |
| Multistage undrained triaxial conditions | 0.2 to 10 kN, multistage loading without pore-pressure measurement | Separate exact A BS 1377-7:1990 row. The identical stated load range does not make it the same procedure as single-loading triaxial testing or establish a combined range or apparatus quantity. |
Access and contact
Use customer services enquiries@soilpropertytesting.com or 01480 455579 to agree the material, test/edition, sample condition, quantity, preparation, reporting and dates. The owner’s undated contact page identifies Unit 18 as head office and Unit 16 Halcyon Court as sample store/deliveries, so confirm the exact delivery instructions. Issue 040 dated 2 October 2025 separately names Mr Jon Garner and jgarner@soilpropertytesting.com as schedule contacts, without independent verification of a present role. The undated quality policy describes contract review against customer requirements and competence.

Standards and accreditation
- Current UKAS 0998, location A
- Current register entry Soil Property Testing links ISO/IEC 17025:2017 schedule 0998 issue 040 dated 2 October 2025. Laboratory A is at 18 Halcyon Court and covers specified aggregate, concrete and soil rows. Away-site B plate-loading and plate-derived nominal CBR are distinct.
- Selected exact material methods
- Examples include BS 812-111:1990, BS EN 933-1:2012 and -3:2012, BS EN 1097-2:2020, -6:2022 and -5:2008, and BS EN 1367-2:2009 for aggregate rows. Concrete uses the stated BS EN 12390 editions. Soil rows use specified BS 1377 parts, BS 6100:Subsection 2.2.1:1992, NHBC Standards April 2010 Chapter 4.2 and the separate BS EN ISO 17892-1:2014+A1:2022 and -2:2014 entries. Exact editions and conditions need agreement.
- Owner-held older scope and quality context
- The owner’s issue 039 schedule is dated 19 September 2024 and is superseded for this guide by current UKAS issue 040. The one-page quality policy limits accreditation to the current schedule. Its annual-review wording, August 2019 transition history and raw PDF metadata do not establish a current signed policy review or present contact role. The broader undated owner test list is separate from exact accredited A rows.
What to confirm with the facility
- Confirm the exact current A procedure/edition, material and preparation. Owner-advertised unconfined compression, falling-head permeability and soil/water chemistry are not presented as exact current A accredited rows. Site B plate/nominal-CBR methods remain separate from laboratory A.
- Keep each load condition tied to its test and specimen restrictions. Aggregate/concrete 40 to 2000 kN, CBR 0.2 to 50 kN and separate triaxial 0.2 to 10 kN rows do not establish one combined equipment range, apparatus counts or a simultaneous maximum guarantee.
- Confirm current booking, turnaround, report and sample-delivery arrangements. Unit 18 head office and Unit 16 sample store/deliveries are separately labelled on an undated owner page. Historic coronavirus timescale wording and dated named contacts are not current service guarantees or independent role verification.
- Provide the project, material, sample condition/quantity, requested method/edition, test parameters, acceptance criteria, reporting requirements and dates. Agree handling, delivery, access, programme and costs with customer services.

Sources and review
Reviewed by Arc on 1 October 2026 in Europe/London using eight fresh official owner/register/schedule captures, with the root response preserved as routing context. Current UKAS register 0998 and five fully viewed pages of issue 040 dated 2 October 2025 verify 18 Halcyon Court, Huntingdon PE29 6DG as Laboratory A. Five concise groups cover exact A soil classification, compaction/CBR, undrained triaxial/consolidation/triaxial permeability, aggregate physical and hardened-concrete rows. Five equipment entries retain separate method load conditions and restrictions without apparatus count, combined capacity or shared-system inference. Away-site B plate-loading and plate-derived nominal CBR remain distinct. The owner still serves issue 039 dated 19 September 2024, whose five pages were also fully viewed, with current issue 040 governing scope and adding the specified NHBC modified-plasticity row. One complete quality-policy page was viewed, retaining its visible document identity and stale raw PDF title separately. Current-served undated owner contact supplies 01480 455579 and enquiries email at Unit 18, with Unit 16 separately labelled sample store/deliveries. Jon Garner and his email are expressly dated schedule contacts without independent present-role verification. Broader owner chemistry/unconfined/falling-head lists and imported DCP depth context are not transferred to exact local accredited scope. Historic coronavirus guarantees, director labels, policy transition/annual review and copyright are not current evidence. Original bodies, headers, HTML metadata/title/canonical absence, raw PDF titles/creation/modification timestamps, full-page images, extraction/render/font configuration/stderr and older discovery originals are retained. Source issue and original metadata dates are separate from actual review. Directory overrides clear imported coordinates.

Owner explicitly identifies its Huntingdon laboratory and external client types. Historic coronavirus statement, 1983/2000 history, bitumen and broad site-service wording do not extend exact current Laboratory A accreditation or guarantee present turnaround.
SOILS as defined by BS1377:Part 1:1990
Owner soil page lists broader soil work including unconfined compression, water chemistry and falling-head permeability. These are not silently transferred to exact current 0998 A accreditation. Selected guide groups follow current exact schedule, rather than owner generic standards or an imported DCP service limit.
