Concrete and Blocks Testing
Concrete used in your construction projects has to meet strict regulations and quality standards. Assessing the properties of fresh concrete during placement leaves a contractor in a better position to respond to any problems that ensue, such as low strength or cracking. Fresh concrete test data such as slump and air content can help indicate possible causes and guide the troubleshooting investigation. Our full range of independent concrete and aggregate testing services can help ensure both the of your concrete.
