Pavement engineering & materials testing

Engineering solutions that serve people

Norfolk Partnership Laboratory, part of Norse Group, is a UKAS-accredited centre of excellence for pavement, geotechnical, and geo-environmental expertise. We provide practical on-site and laboratory testing, including soils, aggregates, bituminous mixtures, and concrete, alongside structural investigations and non-destructive testing. By combining technical precision with clear advice, recycled material guidance, and innovative thinking, we deliver safe, compliant, and sustainable infrastructure that benefit people and the built environment.

Practical expertise for every project

Our team supports local authorities, contractors, and private clients with a full range of services, from pavement engineering, in-situ testing, and diamond drilling of concrete and bituminous structures to estate road design, pavement failure investigations, and surface dressing design and repair. We also provide contract supervision, quality control, and advice on environmental compliance and sustainable materials. This integrated approach ensures projects are resilient, cost-effective, and aligned with real-world operational and community needs.

Collaboration that drives results

We work closely with clients and stakeholders to understand local priorities and challenges. By aligning technical solutions, such as road design to adoption guidelines and laboratory-supported material testing, with operational requirements, we help deliver infrastructure that is safe, reliable, and built to last. Our focus on collaboration ensures compliance, maximises value, and supports projects that positively impact the communities they serve.
