About

ABOUT US

Earth Materials Classification (EMC) is a soil testing laboratory based in O'Conno-r, Western Australia. Established in 2010, we are currently set up to carry out soil classification tests such as Atterberg Limits and Particle Size Distribution as well as index tests including California Bearing Ratio and Maximum Dry Density.

EMC provides a high quality testing service, according to time-frames agreed with our clients prior to commencement of any program. Our clients are predominantly from the mining and resources industries and supporting engineering and geo-technical consultants. We undertake testing for civil earthworks projects from planning through to construction.

QUALITY ASSURED TESTING

Our testing methods comply with Main Roads Western Australia and Australian Standards. To ensure we can consistently provide high quality testing services, EMC participate in various proficiency testing programs and carry out regular calibration and maintenance on all of our equipment.

We have developed quality systems and procedures to comply with AS17025, and these have been accepted by the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA). EMC have been deemed technically competent by NATA, and expect full accreditation by June 2011.
