Rock Solid Insights: Why Sampling Matters in Material Testing

July 24, 2025

Taking a few buckets of material from a 5,000-ton pile for lab testing? Sounds simple, but if not done according to method, your results could be way off or off just enough not to pass spec.

Wallace Group technicians strictly adhere to ASTM D75/AASHTO T 2 to ensure our samples accurately represent the entire material. This standard minimizes bias, so our tests most accurately reflect the aggregate's true characteristics.

Without proper, representative sampling, you risk misleading test results, project delays, extra costs, poor construction quality, and potential project failure.

Accurate sampling is crucial for reliable results and successful projects, so next time you’re grabbing a sample, think about calling the pros!
