Services
Concrete Mix Design
Our ACI-certified engineers create customized concrete mix designs meeting ALDOT Section 501 and FDOT Section 346 requirements. We optimize water-to-cement ratios using performance data from 28-day compressive tests, ensuring compliance with ACI 301/318 overdesign standards. Clients receive detailed proportioning reports with material volume calculations for construction projects.
Materials Testing
We conduct comprehensive materials testing for cementitious products following ASTM and ACI protocols. Our AASHTO-accredited lab evaluates specific gravities, entrained air content, and aggregate properties to ensure material quality. Field strength data analysis helps reduce overdesign requirements after collecting 15+ test results for statistical validation.
Pervious Pavement
Specialized pervious concrete mix designs address stormwater management needs while maintaining structural integrity. Our engineers optimize void content and aggregate gradation to meet permeability specifications without compromising compressive strength. This solution supports sustainable infrastructure development with reduced runoff.
Questions
What concrete standards do you comply with?
We follow ALDOT Section 501, FDOT Section 346, and ACI 211/301/318 standards for mix design and testing.
Can you help with mix design optimization?
Yes, we analyze water-to-cement ratios and performance curves to optimize mix proportions for specific strength requirements.
Are your testing methods accredited?
Our laboratory maintains AASHTO accreditation and is approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers.
How do you handle field data analysis?
We use 15+ field strength results to calculate standard deviations and refine overdesign requirements.
