Structural contractors, road-building contractors, architectural/ engineering firms and municipalities all require materials testing to ensure their projects will last. Westbrook’s experienced materials testing staff is certified by the HTCP (Highway Technician Certification Program) through the University of Wisconsin – Platteville and have attended courses from the National Highway Institute.

Types of materials testing we offer you include:

Fine and Coarse Aggregates Tests

(base course, concrete aggregate, select backfills)

     - Sieve Analysis (to ensure the aggregate meets the required

       gradation, which will give you the optimal quality material for its

       intended purpose)

    - Aggregate Moisture Content

Concrete Tests

(sidewalks, curb & gutter, foundations, structures, pavements)

    -Air Entrainment (the percent of air in concrete is a critical

      factor in its durability and strength)

    -Temperature (the concrete temperature controls

      hydration, which prevents cracking)

    -Compressive Strength (test the strength of the concrete

      to see if it meets contract specifications)

Asphaltic Concrete Pavement Tests

(binder course & surface course: roads, parking lots, bike trails)

    -Nuclear Asphaltic Density (determine if the contractors

      compactive efforts is achieving the desired densities, which

      impacts the longevity of the pavement)
