Soil and MaterialsTesting Laboratory

The question it answersHow will these soils, aggregates, concrete and asphalt actually perform?

Within its Construction Materials Testing Department, Geo-Tech operates a laboratory accredited by the Construction Materials Engineering Council (CMEC) and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), with a full range of testing capabilities.

The laboratory is an accredited facility with a record of over 25 years, and holds AASHTO R18 accreditation across soil, aggregate, concrete and hot mix asphalt.

R18

AASHTO accredited in four categories: soil, aggregate, concrete and hot mix asphalt. CMEC and FDOT accredited.
