Construction Materials Testing

Ensuring Structural Integrity and Performance from the Ground Up

Construction Materials Testing (CMT) is a cornerstone of quality assurance in infrastructure projects, playing a vital role in verifying the performance, compliance, and durability of materials used in construction. At AEIS, our CMT services are designed to support engineers, contractors, and project owners in making informed decisions that safeguard public safety and maximize long-term asset value.

Purpose and Importance

CMT provides critical insights into material behavior, ensuring that all materials used—whether in transportation, energy, marine, or commercial infrastructure—meet regulatory standards, design specifications, and project-specific requirements. This reduces the risk of structural failure, enhances service life, and supports code compliance.

What We Test

We conduct laboratory and field testing across a wide spectrum of construction materials, including:

  • Aggregates: Gradation, moisture content, abrasion resistance
  • Concrete: Slump, compressive strength, flexural strength, air content, chloride resistivity
  • Cement & Grout: Fineness, consistency, setting time
  • Soil: Proctor tests, Atterberg limits
  • Steel & Reinforcement: Tensile strength, bend tests, coating thickness
  • Asphalt & Bitumen: Core extraction, asphalt content, specific gravity
  • Masonry Units: Absorption, compressive strength test, dimensions

Why It Matters

  • Prevent Future Failures: Early identification of material weaknesses or non-conformities reduces costly rework and mitigates long-term risks
  • Adapt to Environmental Challenges: CMT ensures materials are suitable for varied climates, loads, and service conditions
  • Support Code & Spec Compliance: Our testing protocols align with DOT, AASHTO, ASTM, ACI, and project-specific requirements
  • Enable Better Decision-Making: Results help engineers and owners select the most appropriate materials for each application
