Laboratory Testing

We have been providing laboratory testing for 35+ years.

AGS personnel are familiar with all types of soil mechanics laboratory testing, ranging from index tests to more sophisticated engineering property tests.  This intimate knowledge of the testing methods allows AGS personnel to accurately judge the validity of test results.

Laboratory Testing Approach

Wide-ranging testing and engineering services under one roof.

AGS' laboratory equipment is calibrated on a yearly basis and all lab data reduction and calculations are checked by an engineer. Our laboratory is capable of performing most geotechnical testing, including: 

Porosity
Permeability
Moisture/Density Characteristics
Atterberg Limits
Sieve Analyses
Consolidation
Compressibility
Grain Size Analyses
Shear Strength (both direct Shear and Unconfined Compression Methods)
Our Projects
