MATERIALS TESTING

Materials Testing

HWA maintains a Full-Service Soil and Construction Materials Testing Lab as well as a Mobile Asphalt Testing Lab. We test Soils, Asphaltic and Portland cement concrete, aggregates, geotextiles, and additional materials in support of site evaluation, structural design, and construction quality control.

Our laboratory is accredited by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), we participate in eight different performance assessment sample programs for soils, asphalt, and concrete through AMRL and CCRL, and our team of highly skilled laboratory staff hold several certifications from ACI and NICET.

Our primary testing lab generally conducts testing in support of soils characterization and field testing and inspection while the secondary testing lab conducts those tests mostly associated with geotechnical design.

Materials Testing

Order Tests

Choose from one of the two forms available to assign the required testing.

The Geotechnical & Inspection form is for samples obtained from geotechnical explorations with Index, Strength and Permeability options presented, CMT samples with testing options for Soil, Aggregate, Asphalt and Concrete.

The Chain of Custody may be used where project requirements call for sample tracking to be documented.

Please inquire if your required test method is not listed in the relevant forms. If you have not previously submitted samples or are unsure of your project details (project name, project number) send a form completed with all available information and we’ll help complete project setup.
