Construction Materials Testing
During construction, materials testing is a vital process that helps ensure a project’s success. Testing of materials such as asphalt concrete can reveal information about gradation, air voids and binder content that are integral to the construction process. Testing will let field inspectors know the best way to proceed, with information including moisture vapor content, Los Angeles abrasion and Hveem mix design and stability.
Conformance of quarried materials can also be determined by these tests. Those tests will provide information for construction such as aggregate gradation, durability, R-value, sand equivalent and specific gravity.

Geologic Soil Testing
Soil testing is an important part of the work that must be done before any construction takes place. It helps engineers make informed decisions and design choices that work with the soil foundations of a building, such as permeability. Our staff has more than 65 years of experience combined, providing them with expert knowledge of California soils. Soil testing services include:
