Geotechnical materials testing is a vital part of preparing any major project for the development phase. Designed to critically evaluate the foundation of your site and identify any material damage that may pose a risk both to your operations, as well as occupants or residents down the line. Conducting a thorough analysis of the geological materials involved in your site’s foundation, as well as factoring in environmental risks allows you to circumvent the challenges and dangers posed by earthquakes, foundational shifts and cracks, as well as a wide variety of other factors.
As a leading Geotechnical Engineering firm in the Edmonton Capital Region, ProTechGeo is proud to offer clients through Alberta access to geotechnical material testing and consulting for all your development needs.

Solid Foundations Mean Peace of Mind
The goal of any geotechnical investigation, particularly where materials testing is concerned, is twofold; to conduct a thorough analysis of a job site’s suitability and the overall condition of the area, as well as to determine how the aforementioned factors will affect your build and the future safety of the final structure. Geotechnical investigation can be highly varied in nature, ranging from simple visual assessments all the way to highly technical material testing that involves seismic surveys conducted with advanced equipment and in-depth analysis conducted in lab settings.
Materials testing takes a closer look beneath the surface of your job site and evaluates multiple aspects to determine the composition of all elements involved, including subsurface soil investigations and more. Materials testing is vital to determining a building’s safety and performance in the longterm, but also to ensuring a smooth construction process by keeping architects and your build team aware of any risks to compensate for. Thorough construction materials testing not only saves time and money by keeping you on target and compliant with relevant standards today but also gives you peace of mind for the future. Starting your project off with material evaluation that provides data you know you can trust pro-actively reveals potential issues, allows you to budget accordingly, and makes creating a perfect final result simple and headache-free.
