Concrete
Mix-design coordination, field testing, cylinders, curing, compressive strength, placement schedule and report tracking.
Construction materials + field testing
Match the project to qualified local capacity.
Construction testing is a field-and-laboratory operation. 516Labs coordinates project requirements, licensed providers, dispatch, specimens, schedules, reports and filing responsibilities—never as a generic mail-in test.
Soils and compaction
Proctor, density, moisture, classification, bearing and related field/laboratory requirements.
Asphalt and aggregates
Sampling, gradation, density, binder and project-specification testing through qualified providers.
Masonry, mortar and grout
Prisms, cubes, grout, mortar and unit testing tied to the project specification and inspection schedule.
Steel, rebar and welding
Material coupons, bolts, weld/NDT and related inspection coordination where provider qualifications are confirmed.
Failure and condition investigation
Cores, supplemental testing, material characterization and engineer-directed investigative scopes.
New York City concrete
Licensing and role conflicts matter.
NYC concrete work requires project-specific review. A DOB-licensed concrete testing laboratory must handle applicable TR2/TR3 responsibilities, and mix-design and field-testing roles may require separate laboratories.
Upload the specification and schedule
Project address, permit, mix designs, estimated quantities, test frequency, placement dates and filing obligations.
Check provider eligibility and conflicts
License, accreditation, service radius, technician credentials, capacity and separation of required roles.
Coordinate field dispatch and specimens
Arrival window, field records, curing, pickup, laboratory receipt and break schedule.
Track reports and exceptions
Late specimens, failed breaks, missing reports, supplemental testing and project closeout.
Manual quote required
Send the testing schedule before the pour.
516Labs will structure the requirement and identify the credentials, capacity and provider confirmations needed to execute it.
