MISTRAS CMT laboratory services
MISTRAS performs standardized laboratory testing across the primary construction material categories, providing the documented results that project owners, contractors, and regulators require to confirm material fitness before incorporation into permanent works.
Concrete testing verifies strength, composition, and compliance with project specifications and applicable standards. Services include compressive strength testing of cylinders and cores, slump and workability testing, air content measurement, and mix design verification. These tests provide the data needed to confirm that fresh and hardened concrete meet the structural requirements of the design.
Soil testing confirms that subgrade, fill, and foundation materials meet the bearing capacity, compaction, and classification requirements specified for the project. Services include Proctor compaction testing, in-place density testing, gradation analysis, Atterberg limits, and moisture-density relationships. These results provide the verification needed to support foundation design assumptions and construction quality requirements.
Asphalt testing verifies mix design, aggregate gradation, binder content, and compaction to confirm that paving materials perform as specified under expected traffic and environmental conditions. Services include extraction and gradation testing, Marshall stability, and in-place density verification. Together, they ensure quality control across roadway, pavement, and infrastructure paving applications.
Masonry testing evaluates the compressive strength of mortar, grout, and masonry units to verify compliance with structural specifications and building code requirements. Prism testing, mortar cube testing, and unit absorption testing confirm that masonry assemblies perform as intended within the structure.
Where project specifications require material verification of structural steel, reinforcing bar, or other construction materials, MISTRAS provides testing and certification review services to confirm compliance with applicable ASTM and project-specific standards.
