STATE OF THE ART TESTING AND CONSULTING
Why Us? We offer an unmatched mix of expertise that covers academic research, lab testing, and hands-on execution at job sites. We validate your ideas and help you go to market faster with products that work in the real world. We don’t do science for its own sake. We do it to create products that have a positive impact on construction and commerce. That’s why we are recognized as the A-Team for making new things possible with concrete.
Design and Development of Concrete and Concrete Products
This includes mix optimization, concrete additives and admixtures to place your company at the cutting edge of the industry. We can design/develop for any need as well as test for validation from preliminary testing to DOT specifications.
Technical Transfer / Industry Adoption of New Technologies
Getting the industry to adopt a new technology can be even harder than designing and developing one. One of our favorite pillars is technical transfer. So often amazing technologies are lost in universities and R&D labs and never see the light of day, which is so disappointing. Many technologies could make a huge impact but there is a method to bringing these innovations to the industry. We can assist you in every step of the process, taking things from the lab to the field to successful adoption/industry acceptance.
Standardized Tests for the Lab and Field
We offer many industry standard tests but also offer more specialized tests such as ASTM C1585, ASTM C779, and ASTM C1138 which few labs are able to do. Please contact us for a complete list of the tests that we offer.
Customized Tests
Every once in a while the test needed to fully evaluate a product does not have a specification or may not have been thought of yet. Our team specializes in designing tests and analyzing data to evaluate every possible aspect of performance that may be of interest.
Forensics Analysis on Failed Structures/Litigation Services
Concrete is versatile, durable and one of the coolest construction materials out there. However, sometimes it does not perform as expected for a number of reasons. Our team of experts can help you figure out why and can provide support from evaluation / research of causes of failure all the way through litigation.
Educational Seminars - Basics to Advanced
We like talking about concrete just as much as we like making and breaking it! We offer seminars / provide speaking engagements on everything concrete from the basics of what it is to the involved technical chemistry that comes with it. We have many off the shelf presentations or can tailor a talk to suit any concrete topic desired.
Technical Support
We offer technical support in the means of training new technicians to work in the lab or field, designing and developing a customized QA/QC program, or even acting as a technical officer to answer those difficult questions on sales calls.
