Construction Materials Testing in New Orleans, LA
New Orleans concrete work happens in ground that will not hold it up on its own, which is why the region's signature testing scope is pile-supported construction: driven concrete and timber piles, auger-cast piles, and the structural slabs that span between them. We provide project-based testing coverage for Louisiana work, fresh concrete per ASTM C172, C143, C231, C1064, and C31, strength per C39 on the schedules stressing and load transfer require, plus the fill and backfill verification per D6938 that levee-adjacent and elevated construction still demands. Coverage is scheduled to the project rather than the day, sized for the industrial, institutional, and flood-infrastructure work that anchors this market.
Nearly everything of consequence in New Orleans is pile-supported, so the testing record here extends beyond concrete properties into the documentation that pile acceptance and structural load transfer depend on.
- Concrete field testing: slump, air content, temperature, and cylinder casting per ASTM C31
- Compressive strength testing of cylinders and cores per ASTM C39
- Soil compaction and in-place density by nuclear gauge per ASTM D6938
- Proctor moisture-density relationships per ASTM D698 / D1557
- Aggregate gradation, quality, and source testing per ASTM C136

FAQ · New Orleans
Do you staff Louisiana projects from Texas?
Coverage is project-based: scheduled placements, phased assignments, and full-time project staffing are proposed against the actual scope, and multi-week industrial and institutional work is where that model fits best. Send the specification and schedule for a straight answer.
What is different about testing auger-cast pile concrete?
It is a grout-like mix judged on flow and strength rather than slump, sampled during placement with cube or cylinder strength per the specification, and the record ties each pile's volume and materials to its location, because that record is the pile's acceptance.
