Masonry Testing Services

Masonry construction, which has been in existence for centuries, continues to evolve with new products and material applications to meet today's construction demands. Construction materials testing and field inspections are needed to determine that the masonry products used on the job are in conformance with job and product specifications. These testing and inspection procedures will determine that the masonry components possess the required shape, size, strength, consistency, and other physical characteristics required to properly serve their intended purpose. A properly planned and executed program for construction materials testing and field installation inspections will help avoid costly damages resulting from the use of substandard materials or unacceptable installation practices.
