Ensuring Quality with Comprehensive Materials Testing
Materials testing is a vital part of the construction industry, ensuring that all materials—whether surface coatings or structural components—are safe, durable, and compliant with industry standards. Understanding the properties of your materials is essential to maintaining structural integrity and long-term performance in any construction project.
At Construction Materials Testing (CMT) in Houston, Texas, we offer essential material testing services for the building and construction industry. Furthermore, our on-site testing capabilities include operating a fully accredited, state-of-the-art material testing laboratory, where we perform a wide range of in-depth analyses.
Do your materials undergo full or comprehensive testing on-site? If not, we transport them to our lab for extensive evaluation. Moreover, through rigorous testing, we identify potential issues and deliver precise reports detailing material composition and performance, ensuring confidence in every project.
Materials Testing Laboratories: Ensuring Accuracy and Compliance
A material testing lab serves as an off-site facility for conducting thorough assessments of construction materials. Additionally, CMT labs conduct a full range of tests directly at the facility, ensuring comprehensive evaluation and compliance with industry standards.
AASHTO, A2LA, CCRL, and USACE Accredited Materials Testing Labs
At Construction Materials Testing (CMT), we utilize fully accredited and certified laboratories to ensure the highest level of testing accuracy and reliability. Our labs hold certifications from two of the most recognized industry bodies: AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials), USACE (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) and A2LA (American Association for Laboratory Accreditation).
Why Materials Testing Accreditation Matters
working with AASHTO-accredited and A2LA-certified labs, CMT guarantees accurate, compliant, and high-quality material testing services, providing confidence and reliability for every construction project.
1. A2LA Certification
A2LA-certified labs hold accreditation from a non-governmental, non-profit organization that ensures testing facilities meet strict quality and competency standards. As a result, this certification guarantees that material testing maintains precision and provides accurate data for construction projects. Furthermore, A2LA operates as a recognized member of multiple international and domestic cooperative arrangements. Domestically, federal agencies, state agencies, municipalities, and private organizations acknowledge A2LA’s accreditation.
2. AASHTO Accreditation
AASHTO-certified labs undergo rigorous evaluation through the AASHTO Accreditation Program (AAP) to verify their competence in conducting standardized construction material tests. Moreover, as the largest and most widely recognized accrediting body in the construction materials sector, AASHTO accreditation ensures that laboratories adhere to the highest industry standards. Consequently, their results gain wide acceptance and build trust across the industry..
