Michigan Tech is home to the Aggregate Research Center, which
is the first such agency in the country funded by the federal government.
The
center has some of the finest facilities anywhere for evaluating,
processing, and characterizing aggregates and geotechnical materials.
Aggregate
and Geotechnical Facilities
The Aggregate Processing Plant simulates full-scale production
of aggregates and reclaimed materials; it can sort 3,000 pounds
of coarse aggregate in an hour.
The
Aggregate Preparation and Classification Laboratory separates,
crushes, mills, and analyzes aggregates for gradation and proportion.
The
Geotechnical Research Facilities perform advanced material characterization.
