Since 1988, Applied Materials & Engineering, Inc. has served as an independent agency providing construction materials inspection, consulting and testing services.
AME’s staff of engineers and certified field and laboratory technicians educated and trained in civil, structural, and metallurgical materials provide support to the construction industry for the following spectrum of services:
Delivering across the board quality service without compromise.
Independent, code-mandated verification of materials for new construction, seismic and other structure upgrades. Our field staff ensures code compliance with IBC Chapter 17 requirements for all structural materials during construction of projects permitted by Cities, Counties, DSA, HCAI and the Fire Marshall.
We support civil projects by providing field and laboratory materials testing services for roadways, runways, bridges, and utilities—ensuring project materials meet Caltrans/FAA specifications and municipal public works standards.
Forensic assessment of existing buildings and structures. We utilize Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and advanced mapping techniques to evaluate structural integrity, assess damage, and uncover the root causes of distress.
Comprehensive solutions for the exterior skin of your building. From waterproofing design review to field window testing, we ensure your roofing, glazing, and cladding systems perform as intended.
Fast, accurate material verification and quality control from our AASHTO, IAS, and DSA-accredited laboratory. We test concrete, asphalt, soils, and other construction materials to confirm compliance with project specifications and applicable standards.
Advanced microscopic analysis for deep forensic insight. We examine the microstructure of concrete and rock to diagnose complex durability issues, such as Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR), chemical attack, and fire damage.
