Testing Services
Materials Testing involves testing of the materials used in new build projects or additions and amendments to existing projects. Our team takes all relevant factors into consideration when conducting materials testing, such as the unique requirements and scope of each project as well as the site of the build and the surrounding environment, to provide the most comprehensive picture of material characteristics and the operating performance of the raw material and the finished product.
At ProtechGeo, we use materials testing to adequately test the physical and mechanical properties of composite materials involved in your construction project, including concrete, soil, and asphalt testing to ensure proper quality control and quality assurance. All project site inspections and material testing services are provided on an as-needed or on-call basis.
We provide expert evaluations, soil testing, and practical recommendations to ensure your construction project is safe, stable, and cost-efficient from the ground up.
Bearing Capacity & Excavation Inspections
On-site proof roll and frost checks to confirm soil stability and ensure safe excavation conditions.
Pile Installation Monitoring
Inspection and verification of pile installation to meet design specifications and structural requirements.
Proctor Sample Testing
Collection and testing of Proctor samples to determine optimum soil moisture and compaction levels.
Compaction Testing
for Fill Materials
Field density testing to confirm proper compaction and performance of fill materials during construction.
Asphalt Testing

What are the benefits of geotechnical consulting services?
Working with a reputable geotechnical engineer ensures that your residential, commercial, or industrial construction project adheres to all applicable safety and building standards. Other significant benefits include access to a range of services to suit your project needs, a wealth of knowledge on testing and reporting methodologies, accurate land quality assessments to help your team make well-informed business decisions, and expert recommendations for land remediation requirements to minimize risks and project costs.
Why is geotechnical engineering support important for my project?
The geology of a build site is often the most important aspect of a project to be considered…from the soil composition to the terrain and incline of the area itself. These factors will impact which materials are used and the procedures are followed, how well they will weather in the current environment, and steps that must be taken to ensure the safety of those involved with the construction initially as well as future users of the space or project.
Which regions do you offer your services in?
Our head office is located in Edmonton, Alberta, and we currently serve clients in B.C., Alberta, and Saskatchewan.
