MPA HANNOVER is an accredited testing laboratory in accordance with RAP Stra 15 and RAP WaBa.
It tests building materials and mixtures of building materials in road construction and hydraulic engineering. In addition to carrying out control tests, MPA Hannover is entitled to carry out arbitration investigations in all specialist areas (with the exception of geosynthetics) of RAP Stra. The Department of Road Construction Products of MPA Hannover carries out extended binder tests with the Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) and the Bending Beam Rheometer (BBR). It tests concrete paving stones, slabs and kerbstones. In cooperation with accredited chemical laboratories, samples can be taken in the existing structure and at the heap for the qualified disposal of mineral waste in road construction.
