Geotechnical Laboratory Testing Services

Our equipment is maintained and calibrated regularly, and all testing is performed following standardized ASTM or Caltrans test procedures. Our laboratory is also equipped with a humidity- and temperature-controlled room for curing cast concrete cylinders.


A geotechnical laboratory fee schedule can be provided upon request, and specialized testing can also be performed. If our laboratory is not equipped to perform such testing in-house, we will arrange to have the testing performed by an outside laboratory.
