Responsibilities

As a Materiaalkundig Laborant, you will work in a laboratory conducting daily research on building materials. Your tasks will involve safety and health aspects of primarily (secondary) raw materials for construction. You will perform tests on granular building materials, contributing to the safe (re)use of these materials. Examples of tests include:

• Grain size distribution: By sieving the granulate, you determine if the particle size distribution of the sample meets the requirements, ensuring stable packing when used as a foundation.
• Composition: The crushed rubble must contain a certain amount of clean rubble and ideally no glass, wood, etc. You will visually sort the samples by material type and check if the requirements are met.
• Asbestos research: Through visual inspection, you determine if there are still asbestos-suspect materials present in the sample. Materials that are reused must obviously be free of asbestos.
• Other tests include the Los Angeles test, CBR value, and increase, density.
