In-House Construction Materials Testing Lab

We recognize your need for accurate and timely results of the materials that require testing. MTC’s in-house geotechnical soil testing lab and construction materials testing lab has been proficient in providing results for over 40 years. We know you need to keep your project on schedule and precise and valid test results are our top priority. Upon receiving test results, we can also provide follow-up environmental consulting or other geotechnical services.

Our laboratory is AASHTO accredited in soils testing, concrete testing, aggregates and asphalt.
