Why analyze asphalt?
Asphalt analysis is essential to ensure the quality and durability of infrastructure, such as roads and sidewalks. It verifies that these materials meet performance standards, particularly in terms of strength and grip, to ensure user safety and extend the life of infrastructure.
This analysis is also crucial to prevent environmental pollution , as some asphalt mixes may contain toxic substances. By identifying potential pollutants, the analysis helps limit their impact on soil and water, and ensures that materials meet environmental standards, thus reducing risks to human health and the ecosystem.
What the analysis measures
The VRDKIT is designed to allow for a complete analysis of the material:
- Detection of asbestos fibers in bituminous mixtures (identification and quantification)
- Analysis of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) — these substances can be naturally present or released during the thermal processing of bitumen and constitute a health risk that must be anticipated
The analyses are carried out in a COFRAC accredited laboratory , guaranteeing the reliability and compliance of the results with regulations.
How does VRDKIT work?
- Ordering the specialized sampling kit
- Secure sampling on site (asphalt, coating, bituminous surface) - sampling guide included + hygiene and safety conditions explained.
- Quick return to the accredited laboratory
- Detailed results provided with interpretation of asbestos and PAH levels detected
Each step is designed to be as simple as possible while respecting the regulatory requirements for asbestos surveys before work begins.
Why this diagnosis is essential
▶ Health safety
The release of asbestos fibers during work can present a serious risk to the health of workers and people nearby.
▶ Regulatory compliance
Before any operation involving the removal, stripping or milling of bituminous asphalt, it is recommended or required to know the status of asbestos and associated pollutants in order to establish prevention measures and waste treatment procedures.
▶ Appropriate waste management
Asphalt containing asbestos or PAHs exceeding permitted levels must be managed through specific channels.
