Materials science
Rocks and minerals are used in the manufacture of many materials, structures, and infrastructure, notably as aggregates in concrete, asphalt mixes, dimensional stone, etc.
Strict standards govern the use of these materials, and their characterization requires specialized expertise. For over 20 years, IOS Geosciences has been offering a range of services, from quarry assessment and aggregate characterization to the qualification of alkali-aggregate reactions in concrete.
Additionally, IOS Geosciences offers a range of metallurgical services to local companies, from metal analysis to rupture studies and characterization of industrial contaminants.
