Bitumen testing | Zlín

Testing of asphalts is carried out in Accredited Testing Laboratory No. 1007.1. This part of the laboratory acts as a reference workplace and has approximately 50 accredited test procedures. Thanks to the continuous modernisation of the equipment and the technical level of the staff, the laboratory participates in solving many tasks of the Ministry of Transport of the Czech Republic and is considered a recognised workplace in the transport construction sector.
