Placement-day testing
Dispatch windows, technician credentials, slump, air, temperature, specimen fabrication and field records as required by the specification.
NYC concrete testing coordination
Coordinate the pour, field testing, specimens and required evidence.
516Labs helps contractors, owners, consultants and project teams structure NYC concrete-testing requirements and identify qualified local providers with the correct capacity, technician coverage and role separation.
Project inputs
Concrete testing cannot be priced from strength alone.
The project address, permit/specification, mix designs, quantities, frequency, placement schedule and filing obligations determine the executable scope.
Cylinders and curing
Specimen identity, initial curing, pickup, laboratory receipt, curing conditions and scheduled breaks.
Compressive strength
Break schedule, report routing, missing specimens, low results, supplemental requirements and closeout tracking.
Mix-design coordination
Required documentation and provider role are separated from field-testing responsibility when the project or code requires it.
Licensed-provider review
Applicable NYC Department of Buildings laboratory, inspection and filing responsibilities are confirmed per project.
Capacity and coverage
Geographic coverage, notice requirements, concurrent placements, after-hours work and reporting turnaround.
Important NYC boundary: 516Labs is not a concrete testing laboratory, special inspection agency or engineering firm. Applicable TR2/TR3, laboratory, inspection, filing and professional responsibilities remain with DOB-licensed and otherwise qualified parties.
Before the first pour
Send the specification and placement schedule.
We will identify missing scope, qualification and capacity questions before seeking provider pricing.
