From the soil beneath your foundation to the structural steel on site, and from the masonry forming the walls to the asphalt paving roads and parking lots, Terracon delivers quality construction materials testing. As consultants and technical professionals, our approach is unique: we go beyond uncovering materials problems, partnering with you to offer solutions that meet project specifications and work within budget and time constraints.

On-site testing and observation by skilled engineers and technicians

Additionally, they are certified through multiple agencies, including: American Concrete Institute (ACI), state Departments of Transportation (DOTs), International Code Council (ICC), and the National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technology (NICET). No matter your project type or scope, we can help due to our national network of accredited materials testing laboratories with subject matter experts who can consult on a range of specialty materials.
