Laboratory Testing

Soil

Concrete
Concrete is composed of sand, gravel, crushed rock, or other aggregates held together by a hardened paste of cement and water. It is one of the most widely used structural building materials. Some of its important properties are: durability, workability, water tightness, strength, elasticity, creep, extensibility, and thermal properties. However, poorly made concrete or the wrong materials in the wrong environment can cause structural failure. Our lab testing services consist of the following:

• Materials analysis


• Coating selection and failure analysis


• Strength testing

Mortar
Like concrete, mortar is an important building material. Also like concrete, the strength of a mortar depends on its mixture and materials. Our mortar lab test will identify the mortar's components, calculate the porosity and fracture limit, and identify any possible problems like non-homogeneous mixtures or soft mortar.
