All structures rely on a variety of building materials to sustain long-term serviceability. Construction materials testing, especially concrete testing, is a vital process that helps builders identify problems that could occur during construction. The foundation that the structure rests upon plays a significant role in the ultimate success of a project. Whether it’s clay, silt, sand, gravel, or bedrock, understanding the conditions of a site can help your team make smart construction decisions. Verification of the materials on a job site is essential for compliance to specifications, adhering to building codes, providing occupational safety, and following environmental regulations. In addition to the standard tests that are required by the specification, we perform specific tests on construction materials as dictated by the needs of the client. Proper testing can provide critical information to assist engineers in achieving sound building practices. Our laboratory engineers and technicians also sample, examine and classify soil materials. We uphold current state, federal, and industry standards. MAAKIL CCT Lab’s highly skilled geotechnical team evaluates results and makes recommendations. Accordingly, we always provide accurate conclusions regarding material compliance for each project’s requirements. Some of our testing services include:
Aggregate Testing.
The bulk density of aggregates determines the type of concrete for which it may be used and also helps to determine the quality of aggregate.
Aggregate Testing may include:
- Component analysis (sand, gravel, limestone) – Department of Transportation
- Filter sand – Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
- Railroad ballast – American Railroad Engineering Association
- Riprap – U.S. Soil Conservation Service

Asphalt Testing.
Asphalt testing and density control can help to ensure quality and durability in pavement performance. Asphalt testing may include:
- Nuclear gauge calibrations extractions and grading
- Core testing and density of strength
Be sure to talk to us about pavement performance goals before you begin your next asphalt project.

Concrete Testing.
We also provide a wide variety of concrete, asphalt and material testing. We also have experience testing heavy highway and high strength concrete and asphalt projects, including airplane runways and major highway expansions, plus additional applications:
- Mix designs to verify and optimize standard and special project conditions
- Compression tests
- Flexural and split tensile strength tests
- Modulus of elasticity
- Creep testing

Density Testing.
Material Density Testing. Most installed surface are required to pass both DOT and area codes for density and strength before being certified. Asphalt density is one of the most important measurements in construction of asphalt mixtures. Achieving the desired density of asphalt ensures that the finished product will perform as specified, with optimum durability.

Soil Testing.
Complete soil testing is essential during many types of construction projects. During the placement of engineered backfill material, soil density testing is necessary to evaluate whether the final soil composition and compaction levels are adequate to support the planned improvements, including roads, bridges and building foundations as designed.
Types of soil testing include:
- Classification
- Compaction parameters
- Permeability tests

Nondestructive Testing.
Nondestructive testing (NDT) is used to evaluate the physical and structural properties of a material, component or infrastructure without causing damage. Nondestructive testing plays a crucial role to ensure the safety and reliability of bridges, buildings, and much more. By inspecting materials and components without changing or destroying their usefulness, non-destructive testing can improve product reliability, provide insight on repair criteria, and reduce costs by preventing future accidents. Nondestructive testing can be conducted at any stage of the construction process, and also is very useful to monitor the integrity of a structure throughout its life.
