Rock Mechanics is a theoretical and applied science concerning the physical behaviour of rocks, subjected to stress conditions of different origin. The Geo-Con range of products includes a comprehensive selection of equipment for rock mechanics testing, from sampling and preparation through to compressive strength, triaxial, permeability and shear strength testing equipment.

Aggregates are used in all fields of the construction industry to produce bituminous mixtures, concrete, mortars, fill materials, railway ballast, etc. Geo-Con, supply equipment for most aspects of aggregates testing, including assessment of fines and mechanical, geometric and chemical properties.
