Laboratory Testing
Laboratory Testing
When it comes to construction materials testing, our expertise goes beyond standard laboratory services. We perform specialized testing and analysis that few laboratories are accredited or experienced to provide.
Our technical experts are active members of industry organizations like ASTM, ACI, ASTM, ICRI, FRCA, ASCE, and SWRI. Many have served as committee members, committee chairs, board members, and leaders of local and national industry organizations, helping to support the development of testing methods, standards, guidelines, and specifications.
Equipped with advanced testing technologies and state-of-the-art laboratory facilities, we provide reliable, independent testing and forensic analysis services for a wide range of construction materials. Our clients include building owners, contractors, concrete producers, material manufacturers, engineering firms, government agencies, legal professionals, and facility operators.
Whether you need routine quality control testing, failure analysis, or expert forensic evaluation, our team is ready to help. Contact our laboratory to discuss your project requirements.
