What’s in a Test Method

QEST Platform’s test methods are built on comprehensive, complete worksheets refined over decades of experience. Each worksheet is designed to support the technician through the testing process, encouraging data entry at the bench or in the field with real-time feedback as the work is undertaken. Your operational quality is built into the platform.

Thorough, by design

Every permutation, covered

The full standard is accounted for, not just
one prior customer’s workflow.

Live compliance warnings

The technician is informed of any deviation
from the required procedure.

Field and lab, one flow

Combined workflows let you access proctors
for field density and run seamlessly.

Related methods embedded

Water content is embedded and exposed in the
oven-drying workflow, with tin barcode scanning.

Equipment checked & connected

Calibration and suitability are verified, and
measurement data is interfaced directly.

Built for accreditation

ISO 17025 compliant and ready for your
accreditation and audit needs.

A comprehensive suite, out of the box

Concrete – Fresh & hardened

Comprehensive fresh and hardened concrete testing — from sampling, workability, air and density
through to compressive and flexural strength, and coring.

Aggregates – Grading & particles properties

Aggregate characterisation covering grading, washing, and particle density and absorption,
with moisture and drying steps embedded into bulk operations.

Soils – Classification, compaction & density

A broad geotechnical suite spanning classification, moisture and compaction, and in-situ/field density,
with compaction data flowing straight into field density workflows.

Standards supported include AASHTO, ASTM, Australian Standards, British Standards, and more.

Extend with QP Toolkit

Build methods from scratch or based on existing configurations using the same powerful framework Spectra QEST uses —
with well-structured data, a uniform experience, and accreditation built in.

State DOT standards

Regional specifications, configured to local requirements.

Your own method variations

Adapt any method to match your workflow.

Project-specific methods

Bespoke procedures built for a single job or site.

Customer-specific inspections

Client checklists and report formats, made to fit.
