ONE VALID TEST IS WORTH A THOUSAND EXPERT OPINIONS

GEOSCIENCE ENGINEERING AND LABORATORY SERVICES provides cost effective laboratory and field testing services to measure the conformance of the materials and construction of your project to the project specifications. We provide independent construction materials testing, both in the field and at our eight regional laboratory facilities. Most of the tests are completed in-house, saving our clients time and money. 

Our sophisticated testing programs are crucial to projects with great sensitivity to soil behaviour - high-rise buildings, bridges, dams, power plants, mines, levees, offshore platforms and tunnels, for example. Our accredited soils laboratories use state-of-the-art equipment to perform testing to local and internationally accepted standards.

 With the speed of today’s projects, we make every effort to keep the project running smoothly and efficiently with our electronic report transmittals and our completely unique laboratory database management system.

 GEOSCIENCE ENGINEERING AND LABORATORY SERVICES’s field and laboratory technicians have extensive experience working on retail, commercial, hospitality, health care, energy and transportation projects, including highway, bridges and aviation projects. They are experienced with protocols for sampling and testing for a wide range of materials. 

Our field technicians are required to be certified as an American Concrete Institute (ACI) Level I Concrete Technician.

We provide construction Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) for concrete construction, earthworks, and other geo-constructions to ensure the construction procedures and materials conform to the design specifications and engineering assumptions, as well as, to the proper construction practices. Some examples include:

• Inspection and materials testing services for utility line placement, site grading, and construction of embankments, engineered fills, excavations, and retaining walls

• Monitoring, inspection (pile inspection), and materials testing services for driving of steel piles and construction of concrete shafts, caissons, belled piles, Compacto piles, CFA piles, footings, and mat foundations

• Rebar and form inspection and materials testing services for fresh and cured concrete for reinforced concrete constructions

• Soil testing and proof rolling inspection for pavements and sub-grades
• 
  
• Soil compaction testing using nuclear density gauge (densometer) for sub-grades, site grading, engineered fills, and structural fills

• Concrete testing services for structural concrete, plastic concrete, zero-slump concrete, light-weight concrete, grout concrete, Sika grout, cementitious grout, non-shrink grout, shotcrete, roller-compacted concrete (RCC), cementitious materials, and asphalt concrete materials

• Materials engineering and design, lab tests, research, interpretation of test results, and development of technical knowledge databases for new engineering materials 

• Materials testing for Forensic Geotechnical Engineering applications (failure investigation, expert witness, remedial and repair engineering)
