	Typical use(s):	Material required:
	Long-term slope stability Foundation design	Undisturbed: sample with a core length of about 2:1 length:dia ratio of full diameter, intact material (ideally at least 2.5:1 length:dia to allow for trimming) block sample twice the size of 2:1 length:dia sample required. Remoulded: 200g of <6mm material for 38mm dia. specimen 4kg of <20mm material for 100mm specimen.
	Description	Price excl. VAT
	Single stage test up to 4 days duration (BS1377 : Part 8 : Clause 7 : 1990)	£ 140.00 per specimen
	Multistage test up to 4 days duration (BS1377 : Part 8 : Clause 7 : 1990 and Technical Procedure TP38)	£ 155.00 per specimen
	Extra over days in excess of initial 4 days	£ 20.50 per day per specimen
	Remoulding single specimen	£ 15.00 per specimen
	Remoulding set of three 38mm diameter specimens	£ 15.00 per set of 3 specimens
	Notes:
	Caution: With fine-grained low permeability materials this test can have a long duration (eg. 1-2 weeks per stage) and correspondingly high charges due to the extra over days incurred. In this case, if there is nothing larger than fine gravel, a set of three 38mm diameter samples may work out less expensive than a multistage 100mm diameter specimen and will have a much quicker turnaround (typically within 2 weeks).
