If your team is in the process of planning an upcoming development for infrastructure, roadworks, or the construction sector, you’ve no doubt begun to explore your options with regards to materials testing. Materials testing evaluates concrete, asphalt, and all related components are safe and able to stand up to the task at hand without putting your build team, as well as future occupants or commuters at risk. As a key factor in several regulatory standards, partnering with a qualified geotechnical engineering firm makes it easy to get the material information you need to proceed forward in construction.
At ProtechGeo, we understand the importance of having access to the results you need, with minimal delays and communication that makes things as easy as possible. Based in Edmonton, we’re proud to partner with clients throughout Alberta to provide leading geotechnical analysis, including materials testing. Below, we’ll discuss the importance of materials testing more in-depth, as well as the benefits of partnering with Protech. Read on to learn more.
Taking A Closer Look
In the simplest of terms, materials testing is the process by which geotechnical engineers evaluate materials found on a job site in order to determine a multitude of data points ranging from composition, structural stability, performance capacity, and more. The most common materials to be tested include asphalt, soil, gravel, concrete, steel, and several others that are frequently used in construction. Whether you’re testing asphalt to ensure that your pavement is strong enough for the task at hand, or steel to make sure that all building materials used are compatible with the existing site factors, materials testing is crucial for quality control, additional building material selection, production planning, safety and compliance, and more.
When you partner with ProtechGeo for materials testing you get the benefit of working alongside a highly qualified team that’s focused on covering every last detail so you can move forward with minimal issues down the line. For safety, compliance, and the overall longevity of your final result, material testing is a must.
Lower Your Risk
It’s no secret that the biggest detriments, both financially and production-wise, for any project are the unexpected and the unknown. Alberta’s landscape poses multiple challenges for developers, and with various materials in use at any given stage of development, you can’t afford to guess. Materials testing, whether done on-site or in the field,removes any ambiguity and allows all team members to plan accordingly, giving you the confidence and transparency that matters most. From roadways to bridges, commercial developments and infrastructure, knowing what you’re working with as well as what you need is the best way to keep things safe, efficient, and on the right side of all relevant regulations.
