Construction Materials Testing
Mountain Engineering and Testing’s field testing is performed by qualified technicians under the supervision of a registered professional engineer. Technicians are certified by ACI, CAPA, LabCAT, WAQTC, OSHA-40 Hour, Troxler and other appropriate agencies. Field testing is performed using ASTM, AASHTO, and other applicable specifications and guidelines.
- Moisture/density testing on compacted soils and asphalt
- Steel reinforced concrete observations
- Concrete and Grout testing including: Slump, entrained air, temperature, unit weight, and casting cylinders
- Asphalt placement observation and sampling
- Masonry observation
Laboratory Analysis
Mountain Engineering and Testing’s in-house laboratories are equipped to test soils, aggregates, concrete, and asphalt. All laboratory testing is conducted in accordance with quality control guidelines of ASTM, AASHTO and other recognized standard test procedures..
- Soils tests include: Standard and modified proctor, gradation, atterberg limits, hydrometer/dispersivity, swell/consolidation, soluble sulfates, moisture content, relative density, and specific gravity
- Compressive strength testing for concrete, grout, and mortar
- Fine and Course aggregate specific gravity
- Asphalt tests include: Asphalt content using chemical extraction, gradation, RICE, and nuclear pan calibration.
- Asphalt, concrete, and masonry coring
Onsite Water Treatment System Design
Mountain Engineering and Testing designs basic and higher level treatment Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems (OWTS) for both residential and commercial purposes. MET does design in many counties from Park, Fremont and Custer county, Gunnison and Lake county, Conejos and Costilla counties, and many more in between. Contact MET today for any OWTS permitting or regulation questions regarding your new or repair design requirements.
- Large commercial systems over 2,000 gallons per day require state permitting and is beyond our scope of work for OWTS design.
