What Our Laboratory Testing Covers

Our laboratory testing services support projects by verifying material performance and compliance. Testing is performed in accordance with project specifications and applicable ASTM, AASHTO, and agency standards. When required, we provide enhanced or non-routine testing to support performance validation.

Construction Materials Testing

  • Concrete compressive strength, flexural strength, and durability verification
  • Concrete mix design development and optimization
  • Aggregate gradation, quality, and reactivity screening
  • Soils classification, Proctors, and suitability testing
  • Hot-mix asphalt (HMA) design and verification testing
  • Field sampling coordination and chain-of-custody reporting

Laboratory Testing – FAQs

Do you coordinate laboratory testing with field sampling and inspections?

Yes. Our laboratory testing services are fully integrated with field sampling and special inspections, allowing for consistent documentation, clear traceability, and streamlined reporting throughout the project lifecycle.

Are your laboratory test results accepted by permitting and oversight agencies?

Yes. Our laboratory is accredited by IAS and approved by DSA, HCAI, Caltrans, and AASHTO, and our test results are routinely accepted by local building departments, owners, and regulatory agencies.

How are test results reported and distributed?

Test results are issued in clear, standardized laboratory reports that meet agency and project documentation requirements. Reports can be distributed electronically to designated project stakeholders to support timely review and decision-making.
