Construction Materials Testing - Field & Laboratory

Data Testing's certified, responsive technicians provide a full range of construction materials testing and quality control (QC) services to ensure the quality and durability of your construction projects. Our experienced team is committed to delivering precise and reliable data through both field and laboratory testing, serving Owners, Contractors, and Engineers.

Soils:

• Field Testing: We conduct in-place moisture-density testing, bearing capacity assessments, proof-roll observations, undercut/soil inspections, hand penetrometer tests, dynamic cone penetrometer tests, plate bearing load tests, and more to evaluate the suitability of soil for construction.
• Laboratory Testing: Our lab performs a variety of tests, including standard/modified proctor, soil classification, Atterberg limits, California bearing ratio (CBR), moisture content, and specific gravity analysis, to determine the engineering properties of soil.

Concrete:

• Field Testing: Fresh concrete is tested for air entrainment, slump, and temperature to ensure it meets project specifications, and cast specimens for compressive and flexural strength testing in our laboratory. We also perform testing for rebound hammer, floor flatness / levelness, and concrete coring.
• Laboratory Testing: Our lab evaluates concrete samples for compressive strength, flexural strength, and other critical properties to ensure the material's performance and durability. We have capabilities for saw cutting and capping (sulfur and gypsum) of samples if required.

Asphalt:

• Field Testing: We perform sampling, rolling pattern verification, and moisture density testing to verify proper asphalt placement.
• Laboratory Testing: Our lab conducts extraction, gradation, bitumen content analysis, max theoretical specific gravity testing, and bulk specific gravity testing to ensure the quality of asphalt materials.

Masonry:

• Field Testing:  We provide on-site structural masonry observation and evaluation of masonry structures to ensure compliance with design specifications and building codes, including offering grout strength testing and mortar strength testing. 
• Laboratory Testing:  Our lab analyzes masonry units for flexural strength, flow properties, and particle size (sieve analysis) to ensure the quality of masonry materials.

Special Inspections:

• Rebar and Anchor Bolts: We provide inspections to verify the proper installation and placement of rebar and anchor bolts, ensuring compliance with project specifications and building codes.
• Welding Inspections: We manage multiple subcontract partners with certified inspectors to perform visual and non-destructive testing (NDT) of welds to ensure the integrity and safety of welded structures.
• Other Inspections: We also offer inspections via managed subcontractors for structural steel, fireproofing, and other critical components to ensure the overall quality and safety of your construction projects.
