Laboratory Testing

Allstate Consultant’s geotechnical and construction materials laboratories have been provided with the latest laboratory equipment and have been designed and constructed to create a productive and professional work environment.  Our laboratory technicians have been well trained by experienced geotechnical engineers to perform soil and concrete tests in an efficient manner and in accordance with appropriate engineering standards.   Our up to date laboratory equipment is well maintained and regularly calibrated.

All laboratory tests are assigned by an experienced geotechnical engineer who supervises the laboratory work and reviews the test results.  Laboratory test data is processed by trained personnel, reviewed by the geotechnical engineer and presented on the test boring logs or in standardized report quality formats approved by our geotechnical manager.  Consolidation, Triaxial Compression and Grain Size Distribution Test Reports are developed and presented using our firms licensed GEOSYSTEM software.
