Construction Materials Testing and Inspection Services

Ensuring compliance to project specifications

Construction materials testing and inspection services are essential to ensure that the materials and installation processes used in construction projects of all types meet the owner’s expectations, and any applicable regulatory requirements and standards set by industry associations and governing bodies.

Intertek-PSI’s technicians are trained and equipped to use a wide range of sampling procedures, destructive and non-destructive testing methods to verify the quality, strength, and durability of construction materials like concrete, asphalt, soils, aggregates, steel, roofing, and masonry. Proper testing and construction monitoring will identify defects or weaknesses in the material, preventing rework and delays in the short term and costly repairs and premature failure in the long run.
