Townes Site Engineering offers laboratory material testing to determine if your proposed construction site is stable enough for new buildings and infrastructure. Our team works to ensure your property is usable before your development plans take off.
It’s crucial to understand what is going underneath new foundations and pavement. Testing your site conditions helps prevent future cracking, sinking and settling in your roads, sidewalks and buildings.
Your site will be examined to detect soil issues such as shrinking or swelling, shallow groundwater and bearing capacity restraints.
You will receive a professional and experienced interpretation of the results to help with your site design and building construction needs. Townes works to meet the specific goals of each project whether it be new neighborhoods, growing businesses or improved utilities infrastructure.
Geotechnical services can be offered in addition to our other site engineering and design services. This approach helps ensure you receive top-quality support throughout the entire civil engineering process.
You can submit materials such as soil, concrete, grout, cement and asphalt to the Townes Site lab for testing.
Our Richmond laboratory is currently accredited by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and also meets the ASTM E-329 “Standard Recommended Inspection and Testing Agencies for Concrete, Aggregates, Mortar and Soils” used in construction.
Townes is inspected by the Corps of Engineers on a regular basis to ensure the highest quality work possible. Our lab team participates in industry-leading programs such as the Cement and Concrete Reference Library (CCRL) for cement and aggregates and the AASHTO Materials Reference Library (AMRL) for soils.
