Construction Materials Testing & Engineering

Ensuring compliance to project specifications
The verification of your construction materials on a job site are essential for compliance to the project’s specifications, the local and national building code, and also to ensure the safety and success of structure being built. You need a partner who can offer construction materials testing that provides you precise planning, careful design, and rigorous execution so the rigid specifications, demanding schedules, and exacting budgets are met. Intertek is that partner.
