EROSION CONTROL TESTING

SMALL-SCALE INDEX TESTING

Index testing of RECPs was standardized in the late 1990s. TRI was instrumental in the development and standardization of many index procedures. Some of the index test procedures provided at TRI include the following.

For Degradable RECPs

For Permanent RECPs
