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 provide you precise planning, careful design, and rigorous execution so the rigid specifications, demanding schedules, and exacting budgets are met.

Intertek is that partner.
