Geotechnical and Construction Materials Testing Laboratory

Where precision and efficiency meet.

Our advanced equipment and highly trained laboratory technicians have the capability to perform most routine geotechnical and construction materials testing. We approach our work with the precision of scientists and maintain the efficient professionalism our clients have come to expect from BLE. With our own in-house laboratories across all three offices—accredited under CCRL and AASHTO’s resource (formerly AMRL) programs —we’re able to offer our clients quick testing turnaround without sacrificing the accuracy or quality of our process. 

Our laboratory contains permeability and triaxial compression equipment for soils, equipment for performing field and lab tests on concrete, grout, brick, block, rock and chemically stabilized soil.

 

Our Material Testing Services:

At BLE, we’re committed to adhering to industry standards, like ASTM, AASHTO, and USACOE. Our lab technicians can conduct the following laboratory tests and procedures for constructions materials:

  • Specific gravity (soils and aggregate)
  • Sieve analysis (soils and aggregate)
  • Moisture density relationship
  • CBR
  • Hydrometer analysis
  • Concrete mix design
  • Hydraulic jack calibration
  • Concrete strength testing
  • Liquid and plastic limits
  • Flexible wall permeability testing
  • Rigid wall permeability testing
  • Atterberg limits
  • Triaxial shear testing
  • Direct shear testing
  • Consolidation
  • CMU block testing
  • Asphalt testing, extraction gradation, rice and core density
