Materials Testing

Concrete cylinders are poured along with construction concrete.  Then at given time intervals the concrete is tested for compressive strength.  

Nuclear electronic gauges, such as this one, are used in the field to determine moisture content and dry density on compacted samples.  

Testing services are tailored to the requirements of the project and include both field testing services in conjunction with site borings or construction activity as well as laboratory testing.

• Soil Characteristics

  • soil particle size 

  • moisture content

  • bulk density

  • organic matter content

• Earthen Liner Permeability

  • in the field with nuclear-electronic guages

  • in the lab on undisturbed cores or recompacted samples

• Earthwork Compaction

  • in place compaction

  • moisture content

• Concrete Strength

• Consolidation and Shear Strength
