Concrete

Proper inspection plays a key role in providing well-constructed, high-quality concrete pavement. We understand the importance of materials testing and sampling. Our certified field technicians test concrete arriving at project sites for slump, air content, and temperature. We take samples of the tested concrete and submit the cylinder samples to a certified lab for further compliance testing. Our technicians are trained in specific tests and required to demonstrate proficiency in those tests on a yearly basis.
