Intertek’s Analytical Stockpile Assessment: Redefining Precision in Bulk Material Measurement

Intertek, a global leader in Total Quality Assurance, is proud to showcase its Analytical Stockpile Assessment (ASA) service, a patented cutting-edge solution that has been designed to deliver precise estimations of tonnage and financial value for a wide range of bulk materials, including agricultural products, fertilisers, mineral concentrate, coal, petroleum coke, and cement.

The ASA service employs a scientifically validated method that divides stockpiles into layers, ensuring highly accurate measurements of bulk density and volume, with an accuracy of approximately ±1.8%. This superior accuracy surpasses traditional estimation methods, offering vital insights for raw materials managers, financial auditors, and purchasers, helping them reduce financial risk and enhance operational efficiency.

Key features of the ASA service include:

• Superior Precision: Achieves measurement accuracy of ±1.8%, offering a level of accuracy unmatched by traditional methods.
• Layered Approach: Stockpiles are segmented into layers, ensuring detailed and reliable analysis.
• Wide Applicability: Ideal for industries such as mining, fertilisers, cement, coal, and agricultural commodities.
• Patented Technology: Intertek’s patented process ensures the highest standard of accuracy and reliability. The technology is patented in Australia, United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Türkiye, India and South Africa. A patent application is pending in Brazil.

In addition to providing accurate quantitative results through the ASA service, Intertek offers a comprehensive range of quality testing services that can be seamlessly integrated into the ASA process. This enables clients to receive not only precise tonnage estimates but also qualitative assessments of material properties, ensuring a more holistic understanding of their commodities. By combining ASA with Intertek’s quality testing, businesses gain deeper insights into both the volume and the quality of their stockpiles, maximising financial value and operational efficiency.

Intertek remains committed to delivering solutions that help clients optimise the value of their bulk materials while ensuring financial certainty and operational efficiency. The ASA service is set to become an essential tool for businesses seeking to improve their stockpile management practices and make better-informed decisions.
