Construction Materials Testing Services Offered

Soil Testing:

- Soil Classification: Determine the engineering properties of soil, including grain size distribution, plasticity index, and moisture content.
- Soil Strength and Compressibility: Evaluate the strength and deformation characteristics of soil under various loading conditions.
- Permeability and Seepage Analysis: Assess the permeability of soil to water flow, which is crucial for foundation design and slope stability analysis.

Concrete Testing:

- Fresh Concrete Testing: Evaluate the properties of fresh concrete, such as slump, air content, temperature, and unit weight.
- Hardened Concrete Testing: Determine the compressive strength, flexural strength, and modulus of elasticity of hardened concrete.
- Concrete Mix Design: Develop optimized concrete mix designs to meet specific project requirements.

Asphalt Testing:

- Asphalt Mixture Design: Design asphalt mixtures to achieve desired properties, such as stability, durability, and resistance to fatigue cracking.
- Asphalt Pavement Testing: Evaluate the quality of asphalt pavements, including density, thickness, and moisture content.

Structural Steel Testing:

- Nondestructive Inspection: Testing of critical welded connections is dependent on the design and level of quality control required. Our certified welding inspector’s (CWI’s) BECC can provide weld testing such as radiographic, magnetic particle (ASTM E 709), liquid penetrant, and ultrasonic (ASTM E 163).
- Chemical Analysis: Determine the chemical composition of steel to verify compliance with specifications.
- Mechanical Testing: Evaluate the mechanical properties of steel, such as tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation.

Aggregates Testing:

- Particle Size Analysis: Determine the gradation of aggregates to ensure proper compaction and drainage.
- Specific Gravity and Absorption: Measure the specific gravity and absorption of aggregates to assess their quality.
- Los Angeles Abrasion Test: Evaluate the resistance of aggregates to abrasion and impact.
