Our Project Support Services in Chesapeake
ECS is a full-service provider of engineering consulting, from the first project design phases to in-use asset evaluations.
Construction Materials Testing
One proactive step you can take to keep projects on time and budget is investing in construction materials testing (CMT). As a part of this process, a qualified professional assesses the materials’ quality and confirms it can withstand the project’s demands. Doing so before construction can help guard against high-cost fixes or project delays at later development stages.
ECS proudly offers specialists in CMT providing a range of testing services, including:
- Bank draw reviews
- Tilt-up construction observations
- Magnetic particle testing
- Geotextile and geofabric observations and testing
- Soil lime and cement mix design
Our team can also help evaluate materials in the built environment to promote safety and peace of mind.
