Our Laboratory Testing Capabilities
Soil Testing
Soil testing is a cornerstone of our laboratory services. We conduct a variety of tests to determine soil characteristics, including grain size distribution, Atterberg limits, compaction properties, and shear strength. These tests are crucial for understanding soil behavior under different conditions and for making informed decisions in foundation design, site development, and construction.
Rock Testing
Our laboratory is equipped to perform detailed rock testing. We analyze rock samples for properties such as strength, porosity, and weatherability. Understanding these properties is essential for projects involving rock excavation, slope stability, and foundation support in rock.
Concrete and Masonry Testing
We provide comprehensive testing services for concrete and masonry materials. These include tests for compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, and durability. Concrete and masonry testing is vital for ensuring the structural integrity and longevity of buildings and infrastructure.
Aggregate Testing
Aggregate testing in our laboratory includes evaluations of size, shape, density, and crushing strength. This testing ensures that aggregates used in construction meet all quality and safety standards, contributing to the durability and stability of the final construction.
Asphalt Testing
Our asphalt testing services are critical for roadway and pavement projects. We assess the composition, viscosity, and performance characteristics of asphalt, ensuring it is suitable for the specific climatic and traffic conditions of the project.
Environmental Testing
In addition to geotechnical testing, our laboratory performs a range of environmental tests. These include analyses of soil and water for contaminants, such as heavy metals and hydrocarbons. Environmental testing is crucial for assessing site contamination, planning remediation strategies, and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
