Scope
What we test in Cheyenne
Concrete testing services
Fresh concrete sampled and tested at the pour — slump, air content, unit weight, and temperature — with cylinders and beams cast on site and broken in the laboratory on the schedule your specification calls for.
ASTM C172ASTM C143ASTM C231ASTM C173ASTM C138ASTM C1064ASTM C31ASTM C39
Aggregate testing services
Gradation, fines content, specific gravity and absorption, unit weight, abrasion resistance, and stockpile moisture for concrete, base course, and backfill aggregates.
ASTM D75ASTM C136ASTM C117ASTM C127ASTM C128ASTM C29ASTM C131ASTM C566
Soil compaction and density testing
Standard and modified Proctor curves in the laboratory and in-place density by nuclear gauge on every lift, so fill, subgrade, and trench backfill are documented against the specified percent compaction.
Soil classification and index testing
Sieve and hydrometer gradation, Atterberg limits, moisture content, specific gravity, and USCS classification for earthwork acceptance, select-fill verification, and geotechnical reports.
ASTM D6913ASTM D7928ASTM D1140ASTM D4318ASTM D2216ASTM D854ASTM D2487
Soil corrosivity testing
pH and electrical resistivity of backfill for MSE walls, pipelines, and buried structures, reported against the specification limits for metallic and geosynthetic reinforcement.
Special inspection (IBC Chapter 17)
ICC-certified special inspectors for reinforced concrete and soils, reporting to the building official alongside the materials test results, so one agency covers both requirements.

Local conditions
Construction materials testing conditions in Cheyenne
Cheyenne sits on the High Plains at roughly 6,100 feet elevation, where temperature swings between seasons — and even within a single day — place real demands on concrete placement and soil compaction work. Spring and fall construction windows can include freeze events that affect hydration rates, curing schedules, and the reliability of density readings taken during marginal temperature conditions. The wind-driven climate and expansive or variable soils common across southeastern Wyoming add further complexity to earthwork quality control. Contractors and developers working on commercial, municipal, and infrastructure projects in the region need testing and inspection support that understands these site realities and produces documentation prepared for third-party review. Our firm dispatches certified field technicians to Cheyenne on a scheduled and project-based basis, performing ASTM-compliant testing of concrete, aggregate, and soil — backed by a laboratory operating under a documented quality system and reporting built for fast, defensible use on active projects.
Soils across southeastern Wyoming can include variable clays and wind-deposited materials that affect Proctor moisture-density relationships and require careful field verification during compaction operations. The region's elevation and temperature variability make cold-weather concrete procedures — including monitoring placement temperatures per ACI 306 — a routine project consideration rather than an exception.
FAQ · Cheyenne
How do you handle cold-weather concrete testing when temperatures drop during a Cheyenne pour?
Technicians measure fresh concrete temperature per ASTM C1064 at the point of placement and document ambient conditions. When temperatures approach or fall below 40°F, readings feed directly into cold-weather concrete management decisions consistent with ACI 306R guidance. Cylinder sets intended to verify cold-weather strength gain can be field-cured and standard-cured in parallel to give the engineer a complete picture of actual versus potential strength development.
Southeastern Wyoming soils can be variable. How do you ensure Proctor references match actual field material?
Each compaction testing program should begin with a moisture-density relationship established on representative samples of the actual fill or subgrade material using ASTM D698 or D1557, depending on project specification. If borrow material changes during construction, a new Proctor may be warranted. Our technicians collect samples for laboratory verification and flag material changes in the field report so the engineer can assess whether the baseline curve remains valid.
What notice do you need to schedule a technician for a Cheyenne project, and how is coverage arranged?
Cheyenne coverage is dispatched through our Denver regional hub, approximately 97 miles away. We ask for advance scheduling notice — typically at least 24 to 48 hours for routine visits — so technicians and equipment can be confirmed and dispatched reliably. Project-based coverage with recurring inspection schedules can be coordinated at the project outset to reduce lead-time concerns during active construction phases.
How fast can a technician be on site in Cheyenne?
Cheyenne work is dispatched through our Denver, CO regional hub. Scheduled visits are set up by phone at (346) 420-5425; multi-day placements and full-time project assignments are scheduled through a proposal request.
Which office covers materials testing in Cheyenne, WY?
Field work in Cheyenne is dispatched through the Denver, CO regional hub, about 97 miles away. Laboratory testing is performed in Sugar Land, TX under chain of custody, or in a mobile laboratory mobilized to large Cheyenne projects.
Are the technicians you send to Cheyenne certified?
Yes. Concrete technicians hold ACI Concrete Field Testing Technician Grade I; soils and laboratory technicians hold NICET Construction Materials Testing certifications; special inspection is performed by ICC-certified special inspectors. Where Wyoming agencies or owners require state-specific certifications, those are confirmed in the proposal.
