At Achieveng, we understand the critical importance of accurate and reliable testing of construction materials. We offer a full range of laboratory testing services to ensure the quality and safety of your construction project.
We understand that timely and accurate test results are critical to the success of your project. Therefore, we track and monitor the samples we test from collection to analysis through our chain of custody observation. We also maintain laboratory accreditations from the AASHTO Accreditation Program (AAP), certifications from reputable organizations such as Caltrans, DSA, and HCAI, as well as undergo CCRL inspections and participate in their Proficiency Sample Program (PSP) to ensure the consistency of our testing. To view the full scope of accreditations for our San Jose, Fresno and Santa Maria labs, please visit the AASHTO Accreditation Directory and search for Achievement Engineering Corp.
Our laboratory technicians utilize cutting-edge testing equipment to evaluate materials’ mechanical properties through various tests, including tensile and compression tests. Our team of field and laboratory personnel is certified to test a broad range of construction materials, such as soils, aggregates, concrete, reinforcing steel, structural steel, bituminous products, and masonry.
Materials Testing Laboratory Services
We perform soil testing to evaluate the physical and engineering characteristics of soil, including but not limited to moisture content, density, grain size distribution, consolidation, expansion index, plasticity index, classification, unconfined compression, soils cement mix, bearing ratio (CBR), pH, resistivity and organic content.
We conduct concrete testing to assess the strength, durability, and other properties of existing and freshly placed concrete and shotcrete. This is including the coring and evaluation of pre-construction shotcrete panels.
Our asphalt testing services encompass conforming with the project specifications and design criteria while evaluating the properties of asphalt mixtures, including but not limited to specific gravity, theoretical maximum gravity and density, binder content, stability, flow, and air voids. These tests are based on several standards including California Testing Methods (CTM), ASTM, and AASHTO.
Our masonry testing services include testing of brick, block, and stone, including compressive strength, shear, water absorption, and dimensional measurements.
We test reinforcing steel to ensure that it meets the necessary standards and requirements. This is including tensile, bend, resistance butt welds splices, mechanical splices, wire strands, high-strength bolt, nut, and washer, welding hoops and headed bars.
Caltrans has developed policies, procedures, and guidelines to facilitate mandatory compliance for source inspections to check the conformity of a product or assembly before it’s shipped to the job site. At our QA/QC Laboratory, which is audited and approved by the METS office of Caltrans, we provide high-quality testing services for a wide range of fabricated steel construction products, including rebar, headed bars, mechanical splices, strands, and welded hoops. Our laboratory technicians use state-of-the-art testing equipment to perform these tests to assess the materials’ mechanical properties based on several standards including ASTM A706/A615, ASTM 970, and CTM 670.
We also provide steel tests for other types of projects including DSA and HCAI.
