Laboratory Testing

Our Anchor Systems Testing Laboratory can help you verify the structural strength of the anchoring system or base material

Anchor systems are used in a variety of applications, primarily for lifting or holding things in place. Consisting of various systems and sizes, load values of concrete and masonry anchors need to be tested to validate their quality.

Our lab can test steel anchor systems, cast in place anchors, set in place anchors, and the mortars and epoxies that are used to set anchors in place.
