A.M. Geoconsult’s ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited laboratory administers a series of tests on disturbed and undisturbed soil samples retrieved from subsurface exploration to measure a gamut of direct and index properties of soils. Accurate results produced by our standardized tests are required by the geotechnical engineer in preparing a reliable evaluation report. Moreover, our laboratory, supported by highly-trained personnel and well-maintained equipment, also verifies compliance of construction materials with project and quality specifications. With these services, clients are able to lessen probable material replacements, deteriorations, and/or failures and thus, save more.

Examples of mechanical testing of soils, concrete, asphalt, aggregates, and steel that we perform include:

• Unified Soil Classification System (USCS)
• AASHTO Soil Classification
• Laboratory Determination of Moisture Content of Soils
• Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit, and Plasticity Index of Soils
