E.M. Tech has a fully equipped in-house materials laboratory located in our Manassas, Virginia office that supports our consulting and testing services. Our laboratory performs a wide range of soil, aggregate, concrete, asphalt, and other materials testing for the construction industry.
All tests that we offer are conducted in strict compliance with ASTM, AASHTO, or other applicable test standards in order to accurately and efficiently classify, analyze and evaluate various construction materials.
Our facilities have been inspected and/or accredited by the following agencies:
- AASHTO Materials Reference Laboratory (AMRL)
- Washington Area Council of Engineering Laboratories (WACEL)
- Cement and Concrete Reference Laboratory (CCRL)
E.M. Tech maintains a staff of experienced personnel and calibrated equipment to provide accurate test results. All laboratory testing is performed under the direct technical supervision of Mr. Rasheed Ansari, a graduate Civil Engineer with over 20 years of experience in construction materials testing. Our equipment is checked and calibrated annually by an independent or government entity utilizing reference standards that are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
We evaluate many types of construction materials, and prepare and test blended soil mixtures, soil-cement mixtures, soil-lime mixtures, and Portland Cement Concrete mixes for specific projects and uses. E.M. Tech has the capability to accurately assess soil properties and strength parameters that are vital to site characterization, slope analysis, and foundation/retaining wall design. We also provide geotechnical laboratory testing during grading and soil improvement operations. Our laboratory uses the latest equipment that will assure fast and accurate results to supplement backfill and other compaction operations, stabilization operations, pavement operations, and identification of expansive or collapsible material.
