Our qualified field technicians perform on-site testing, collect representative samples, and coordinate laboratory testing to support quality assurance and quality control throughout construction.
Construction material testing is essential for verifying the quality, strength, and performance of materials used in building foundations, earthwork, pavements, and structural systems.
Our field testing services help contractors, engineers, developers, and project owners identify potential material deficiencies, monitor construction quality, and maintain compliance with approved construction documents.
We provide field testing, sample collection, laboratory coordination, and technical reporting throughout the construction process.
Testing methods and services are selected based on project requirements, applicable standards, equipment availability, and personnel qualifications.
Measure in-place soil density and moisture content using nuclear density gauges or other approved methods. Results are compared with laboratory Proctor values to evaluate compliance with specified compaction requirements.
Collect representative soil, aggregate, and borrow material samples from construction sites, stockpiles, excavations, and material sources for laboratory testing, classification, and suitability evaluations.
Perform on-site testing of freshly mixed concrete, including slump, air content, and temperature, to evaluate compliance with approved concrete mix designs and project specifications.
Prepare and initially cure concrete strength specimens at construction sites. Transport specimens to the laboratory for curing and compressive strength testing at specified ages, commonly 7 and 28 days.
Observe exposed foundation bearing surfaces and subgrade conditions to identify unsuitable materials, disturbed soils, groundwater concerns, and potential deviations from geotechnical recommendations. Coordinate with the Geotechnical Engineer of Record when corrective action is required.
Monitor fill placement, lift thickness, moisture conditioning, and compaction operations. Perform field density testing and compare results against project-specific compaction criteria.
Collect asphalt mixture samples and perform applicable field density testing to support verification of pavement material properties, placement quality, and compaction requirements.
Collect and prepare masonry grout specimens and conduct applicable mortar field evaluations to support laboratory testing and verification of masonry construction quality.
Perform field density and moisture testing of aggregate base courses, roadway subgrades, and compacted pavement foundation materials to verify specified compaction requirements.
Coordinate or perform concrete core sampling and collection of existing construction materials, where appropriately equipped, for laboratory evaluation of strength, thickness, and material condition.
Provide proper sample identification, documentation, handling, initial curing where required, and transportation to the laboratory to help maintain sample integrity and traceability.
Prepare field testing reports documenting test locations, methods, observations, measurements, results, and specification compliance. Communicate nonconforming results to designated project representatives for evaluation and corrective action.
Methods shown are the governing ASTM / AASHTO standards. If your project specifies a different standard or a state DOT method, tell us and we'll confirm.
Share the tests you need, the specifications that apply, and your timeline.
We review the requirements with you and confirm the tests, standards and sample needs.
Your samples are tested in our Norcross, Georgia laboratory.
Reports can be ready in as little as 48 hours, depending on the test.
