Scope
What we test in Nassau County
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 Nassau County
Nassau County sits on a barrier island and glacial outwash plain where development pressure is high, buildable land is constrained, and subsurface conditions shift quickly from sandy fill to organic deposits to glacially compacted material — sometimes within a single project footprint. Infrastructure replacement, multifamily residential development, and commercial retrofits dominate the region, and nearly all of that work depends on demonstrated material compliance. Concrete poured through a Long Island winter behaves differently than concrete placed in moderate temperatures, and fills placed over variable native soils can mask compaction deficiencies that only systematic testing will catch. Our firm dispatches certified technicians to Nassau County projects through our New York, NY regional hub, covering scheduled inspections and project-based assignments for contractors, developers, and engineers who need ASTM-compliant field and laboratory testing, clear chain-of-custody documentation, and reports prepared for third-party review. The laboratory operates under a documented quality system.
Nassau County's glacial outwash soils are often granular and well-draining, but localized pockets of fill, organic material, and marine sediment are common near coastal and low-lying areas, making soil classification and compaction verification particularly important before placing structural loads. Cold-weather concreting conditions — governed by ACI 306 — are a routine concern for any project that runs from late autumn through early spring on Long Island.
FAQ · Nassau County
Nassau County has a lot of older fill and made land near the south shore — how do you handle soil classification when subsurface conditions are inconsistent?
Technicians perform visual-manual classification in the field and collect samples for laboratory analysis per ASTM D2487 (Unified Soil Classification System). Where fill or organic material is suspected, Atterberg limit testing (ASTM D4318) helps confirm soil behavior. Results are documented systematically so the project geotechnical engineer can make informed decisions about bearing, compaction targets, or subgrade treatment.
Do you perform Proctor compaction testing for Nassau County DOT or village road opening work?
Yes. Standard Proctor (ASTM D698) and Modified Proctor (ASTM D1557) testing establish the maximum dry density and optimum moisture content used as the compaction benchmark. Field density is then verified by nuclear gauge (ASTM D6938) or sand-cone (ASTM D1556). Reports reference the applicable Proctor curve so agency reviewers can directly correlate field results to lab-established targets.
What cold-weather precautions affect concrete cylinder testing on Long Island projects that run through winter?
ACI 306R establishes protection and curing requirements when ambient temperatures fall below 40°F. Cylinders cast in the field must be protected from freezing during the initial cure period before transport. Our technicians document ambient and concrete temperatures at time of casting per ASTM C1064, and field-cured cylinders are handled per ASTM C31, preserving chain-of-custody and test validity for agency or owner review.
How fast can a technician be on site in Nassau County?
Nassau County work is dispatched through our New York, NY 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 Nassau County, NY?
Field work in Nassau County is dispatched through the New York, NY regional hub, about 22 miles away. Laboratory testing is performed in Sugar Land, TX under chain of custody, or in a mobile laboratory mobilized to large Nassau County projects.
Are the technicians you send to Nassau County 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 New York agencies or owners require state-specific certifications, those are confirmed in the proposal.
