Services
Construction Materials Testing
Geomat's construction materials testing service evaluates soils, aggregates, concrete, asphalt, and masonry to ensure compliance with industry standards. Our certified technicians perform inspections and tests for pavement management, structural integrity, and material quality control. With modern laboratory facilities and automated reporting systems, we deliver accurate results that support safe, code-compliant construction projects across commercial, industrial, and infrastructure sectors.
Geotechnical Engineering
Our geotechnical engineering team specializes in subsurface exploration, foundation design, and soil stability analysis. With nearly 200 years of combined expertise and four owned drilling rigs, we provide site-specific evaluations for foundation parameters, seismic classifications, and geotechnical instrumentation. Our services include settlement analysis, slope stability assessments, and geothermal consultations to support informed design decisions for construction projects in diverse geological conditions.
Special Inspection Services
Geomat offers comprehensive special inspection services covering reinforcing steel, post-tensioning systems, weld connections, and masonry construction. Our certified inspectors ensure compliance with plans and specifications through detailed observations and testing for commercial buildings, roadways, and infrastructure projects. We provide documentation including non-conformance reports and daily progress logs to maintain quality control throughout the construction process.
Laboratory Testing
Geomat operates AASHTO and ASTM accredited laboratories in Albuquerque and Farmington for field and materials testing. Our labs conduct asphalt coring, concrete compressive strength testing, soil moisture analysis, and aggregate quality assessments. With advanced equipment and standardized testing methods, we provide precise data for material compliance, including asphalt mix design analysis and cementitious property evaluations to support construction quality assurance.
Geotechnical Drilling Services
We own and operate four truck-mounted drilling rigs for controlled subsurface sampling and exploration. Our services include SPT soil sampling, continuous core drilling, and asphalt/concrete coring to support geotechnical investigations. With equipment like the CME-55 and CME-45 rigs, we maintain scheduling flexibility and budget control while gathering critical subsurface data for foundation design and site characterization projects across the Southwest region.
