Scope
What we test in Yonkers
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 Yonkers
Yonkers sits at the southern edge of Westchester County where dense urban redevelopment, institutional construction, and infrastructure work run continuously against a backdrop of variable glacial soils and the scheduling pressures of the greater New York metropolitan market. Contractors and developers here face concrete placement windows tightened by cold Hudson Valley winters, fill materials that can vary sharply across a single site, and New York City-adjacent agency oversight that demands traceable, defensible documentation at every stage. Our firm dispatches certified field technicians to Yonkers from our New York, NY regional hub — roughly 16 miles away — providing ASTM-compliant testing of concrete, aggregate, and soil. Fresh concrete testing, cylinder breaks, Proctor compaction, nuclear density, aggregate gradation, soil classification, and soil corrosivity testing are all performed by ACI- and NICET-certified technicians under a documented laboratory quality system. Reports are structured to meet specification requirements and hold up to engineer and agency review.
Westchester County soils commonly include glacially deposited materials — tills, outwash sands and gravels, and pockets of soft or variable fill — conditions that make proper Proctor baseline testing and in-place density verification especially important on grading and utility work. Concrete scheduling in the Yonkers area should account for cold-weather protection requirements under ACI 306 during late fall through early spring, given the region's freeze-thaw exposure.
FAQ · Yonkers
Yonkers projects often encounter variable fill and glacial deposits. How do you establish a reliable compaction baseline on inconsistent material?
When fill or native soil varies across a site, a single Proctor may not represent all material types. We perform ASTM D698 or D1557 testing on representative samples taken from distinct material zones. If the field technician observes a material change during nuclear gauge density testing per ASTM D6938, additional laboratory Proctor tests can be requested to maintain a defensible compaction record tied to the actual material being placed.
Can you support cold-weather concrete placements during Westchester winters?
Yes. Our technicians document fresh concrete temperatures at point of placement and at the forms, as required by ASTM C1064, and record ambient conditions. This data supports the contractor's cold-weather plan under ACI 306.1, providing evidence that concrete was placed within specified temperature limits and that cylinder curing temperatures were maintained and logged to protect compressive strength results.
What special inspection documentation does a Yonkers project under New York State Building Code typically require for concrete work?
New York State has adopted the IBC with amendments. Chapter 17 special inspection requirements apply to structural concrete, and the Statement of Special Inspections must be submitted to the authority having jurisdiction. Our field reports document placement location, ASTM C172 sampling, ASTM C143 slump, ASTM C231 air content, ASTM C1064 temperature, and ASTM C31 cylinder fabrication — the core record an engineer of record needs to complete inspection reports for AHJ submission.
How fast can a technician be on site in Yonkers?
Yonkers 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 Yonkers, NY?
Field work in Yonkers is dispatched through the New York, NY regional hub, about 16 miles away. Laboratory testing is performed in Sugar Land, TX under chain of custody, or in a mobile laboratory mobilized to large Yonkers projects.
Are the technicians you send to Yonkers 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.
