Public test guide

Slurry design

Selects proportions of aggregate, emulsion, water and additives for a workable and durable slurry surfacing mixture.

Plain-language explanation

What the test tells you.

The project specification controls the exact method and acceptance requirement.

01

What it is

Candidate materials are characterised and trial mixtures are assessed for consistency, coating, setting and relevant performance.

02

What is used

Approved slurry constituents, calibrated batching and mixing equipment, and the specified design-test apparatus.

03

What it determines

A proposed job-mix formula and supporting trial results for the selected application.

04

Why it matters

Supports production of a slurry that can be mixed, placed and cured while meeting the project requirements.

Typical test sequence

From sample
to result.

  1. 01

    Test and approve constituent materials

  2. 02

    Prepare trial mixtures over a suitable range

  3. 03
