Concrete / Aggregate Testing

Stork Materials Technology operates fully equipped, state-of-the-art laboratories specifically devoted to the testing and analysis of cementious materials, mortar, sand, aggregate, and stone. In addition, our skilled engineers provide professional advice and technical support based on their knowledge of the properties and composition of the different types of construction materials to ensure complete satisfaction in your finished construction project.

Stork's concrete/aggregate testing services are available for each phase of your project’s construction, including:

Preconstruction Review To minimize potential problems and delays, we evaluate proposed concrete operations, techniques, and procedures before construction even starts.

Mix Design and Mix Evaluation Stork engineers design  concrete mixes that provide practical and economical solutions and, most importantly, meet your project specifications.

Batch Plant Monitoring Stork further tests and inspects concrete at the batch plant to verify compliance of equipment and materials within accepted tolerances.

Fresh Concrete Field Testing and Monitoring Consistency tests, such as slump, air content, and unit weight are performed at regularly scheduled intervals to monitor and maintain uniformity.

Laboratory Testing of Hardened Concrete Our team of certified inspectors determines compression strengths of normal and lightweight concrete and performs visual observation of the failure mode of the compression-tested samples.

Evaluation of In-Place Conditions Stork helps determine compliance of the concrete to specified strength requirements.

Statistical Control of Concrete Quality For all major projects, Stork provides statistical control of concrete quality. In addition to furnishing computer-generated histograms of concrete strength tests—a valuable indicator of trends—our engineers calculate the standard deviation from a moving set of the most recent 30 tests, allowing you to address deficiencies before they become serious problems.

Onsite and In-Laboratory Services Stork provides practical and cost-effective solutions to your specific concrete/ aggregate testing challenges with the support of our onsite mobile labs and full-service analytical laboratories.
