Laboratory Services

Our laboratories have the capacity to test the engineering properties of concrete, soil and asphalt. While maintaining AMRL and CCRL accreditation in areas of hot bituminous asphalt pavement, aggregate, soil and Portland cement concrete, our technicians provide accurate results using state-of-the-art laboratory testing equipment in a timely fashion. Please contact us to know more about these and other tests.
