🟩 Rincent BTP Rwanda carried out bridge loading tests on two bridges located on the Warufu River crossing on the road from Nyagatare District to Rukomo of Gicumbi District.
➡️ Four lorries loaded to 27 tons were used following the recommendations of the SETRA technical guide published in 2004 and entitled: Loading tests for road bridges and footbridges.
➡️ The objective is to measure the deformations under load and compare them with those deduced from the calculation.

🟩 Real Contractors LTD assigned to Rincent BTP Rwanda to carry out quality control tests as part of the Project of roads construction in Rwanda Institute for Conservation Agriculture Campus (RICA). Among quality control tests the field density test was request by the client.
➡️ The Field density test is an in situ quality control test carried out in construction works, especially those related to earthworks.When the soil compaction process is ongoing, field density test should be performed to determine if the compaction we are doing is sufficient.
➡️ The field density test measures the relative density of soil that has been compacted using compaction equipment and the result of this test is expressed as a %. This relative density is measured by comparing the maximum dry density obtained in a field test with the maximum dry density in a laboratory test as a standard reference.
