Soil & Materials Testing

Testing You Can Trust

Accurate soil and materials testing is the foundation of sound geotechnical recommendations. We coordinate all testing through established, CCIL-certified partner laboratories across southern Alberta — ensuring quality results with proper chain of custody.

Our role is to determine what testing is actually needed for your project (not every sample needs every test), supervise sampling in the field, interpret results in context, and incorporate findings into actionable engineering recommendations.

Field Testing

• Nuclear density gauge compaction testing
• Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) testing
• Standard Penetration Testing (SPT)
• Vane shear testing
• Field concrete testing (slump, air content, cylinders)

Why Partner Labs?

A fully equipped geotechnical laboratory represents a capital investment of $200,000-$500,000+. By partnering with established labs, we deliver the same quality results while keeping our overhead — and your costs — low. You get the benefit of certified lab equipment and technicians, supervised by an experienced P.Eng. who interprets the results in the context of your specific project.
