Laboratory Testing
Concrete Testing Laboratory
Concrete is the most widely used construction material. It is estimated that the present use of concrete in the world is approximately 11 billion metric tons every year. Our concrete testing laboratory tests every component in the concrete mix design (cement, fly ash, slag, admixtures, fine and course aggregate) as well as the concrete mix itself. We can also evaluate the plastic properties of the mix as well as the hardened properties. We specialize in mix designs for pavement, airports, ready mix producers, precast, prestress, self-consolidating concrete, underwater concrete pours, shotcrete, industrial floor slabs, and more.
