Construction Materials Testing


Twin Ports Testing’s Construction Materials Department has served on thousands of projects ranging from commercial to heavy industry and mining. Our field staff consists of highly experienced engineers and technicians holding certifications for MNDOT, ACI, and ICC. All field staff are cross trained in multiple departments providing clients with a dynamic skillset. With expertise in special inspections and geotechnical testing, our team is ready to assist on construction projects from start to finish. The CMT lab has held AASHTO accreditation since 1999 and offers a wide range of inspections/materials testing including but not limited to the following:
