Soils and Materials Laboratory Testing Services
Gulf Shore's approach to laboratory testing is unique in today's consulting environment
We do not just perform testing; we get involved with our clients to ensure that the testing requirements are met.
All testing is performed on equipment calibrated and standardized at regularly scheduled intervals. The presentation of test data is computer generated utilizing such industry leading software as gINT and GeoSystems ensuring both clarity and quality. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE-MTC), AASHTO Materials Reference Laboratory (AMRL), Cement and Concrete Referenced Laboratory (CCRL), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) regularly inspect and certify our facilities, procedures and personnel in reference to soils, aggregate, cement and concrete testing.
Testing services are performed in our state-of-the art materials testing laboratories. We provide expert laboratory testing on all types of soil with projects throughout the Pacific Rim and the Southeast United States. A partial list of testing services offered at our laboratories includes:
- Consolidation
- Direct Shear
- Hydraulic Conductivity (Triaxial & Constant Head)
- Moisture Density Relation
- Organic Content
- Particle Size Analysis
- Plasticity Index
- Residual Shear
- Resistance 'R' Value
