Construction Materials Testing in Sacramento, CA
ASTM-compliant field and laboratory testing of concrete, aggregate, and soil — fresh concrete testing and cylinder breaks, aggregate gradation and quality, Proctor and nuclear density, soil classification, and soil corrosivity — run by certified technicians under a documented quality system, with fast, defensible reporting. Serving Sacramento and surrounding California communities with scheduled and project-based coverage dispatched through our Sacramento, CA regional hub.

FAQ · Sacramento
How fast can a technician be on site in Sacramento?
Sacramento work is dispatched through our Sacramento, CA regional hub. Scheduled visits are set up by phone at (832) 464-8334; multi-day placements and full-time project assignments are scheduled through a proposal request.
Do you provide sealed reports?
Test reports are reviewed and issued under our quality system, with engineer review available where the project specification or jurisdiction requires it.
Which ASTM test methods do you perform?
Our construction materials testing scope covers concrete (ASTM C31, C39, C78, C138, C143, C172, C173, C231, C1064, C1231), aggregate (ASTM C29, C117, C127, C128, C131, C136, C566, D75), and soils (ASTM D698, D1557, D558, D854, D1140, D2216, D2487, D4318, D4718, D6913, D6938, D7928, G51, G57, G187). The full list with titles is on this page, and each designation links to a plain-language explainer.
Can you test to the specific ASTM edition my specification references?
Yes. Testing is performed to the edition referenced by your project specification. Where a specification cites a withdrawn method such as ASTM D422 or D421, we run it as written and can run the current replacement, D6913 and D7928, alongside it.
Do you do soil corrosivity testing for MSE wall backfill?
Yes. We run the electrochemical backfill package — pH by ASTM G51, resistivity by ASTM G187 soil box and ASTM G57 field method, with chlorides and sulfates — and report results against the specification limits for metallic and geosynthetic reinforcement.
