Quality assurance and quality control are the most vital aspects of a construction project. The Big Apple construction materials testing laboratory is capable of testing soils, concrete, masonry, asphalt and aggregates to ensure that design criteria are met, and potentially costly setbacks are avoided by implementing permeability, strength, consolidation, index/identification, and specialty testing such as window testing.
Big Apple Group has extensive project experience throughout the Northeastern United States testing construction materials while including everything from routine classification and index tests to sophisticated triaxial shear, permeability, and consolidation tests. Our services also include specific gravity testing, compaction testing, concrete compression test, infiltration test, foundation testing, and testing construction materials and many more.
Big Apple Group provides a wide range of material testing and inspection services during construction to determine compliance with plans, specifications, and referenced industry standards. Our team offers quality assurance, quality control inspection, and testing of the materials associated with the construction of roads, airports, buildings, and other civil infrastructure. These services provided by our testing engineers present an accurate representation of the soil, bedrock and groundwater conditions beneath a given project.
Equipment and Facilities
Our facility is equipped with state of the art furnaces, sieve shakers, compactors and other equipment that allows the Big Apple Group to provide full-service construction materials testing for both public and private projects.
Big Apple’s lab is fully accredited and licensed to provide construction testing services of concrete, aggregate, soil, asphalt, masonry, and fire resistive materials.
Aggregate quality is established and monitored by performing such laboratory tests as gradation analysis, specific gravity, absorption, soundness, freeze/thaw, abrasion, deleterious substances, and acid solubility.
Asphalt testing is essential in modern construction practices which today require consideration of such factors as durability and adaptability to fast track construction and proper performance under specialized applications. Asphalt concrete mixes can be designed using local materials that best fit roadway and airport needs.
Soil strength and compressibility necessary to support buildings and pavements are highly dependent on the soil plasticity, density, and moisture content. Construction testing services including laboratory tests are performed to define soil properties and identify those soils that do not conform to project specifications. For moisture content, strength and stability, the early identification of issues helps avoid future problems and allows for the correction of problems during construction.
Soil Testing
Environmental Testing
Concrete being poured at any building under construction within New York City is required to be tested to ensure compliance with the project’s structural design requirements. The Big Apple Group provides both onsite concrete inspections and further services at our concrete testing lab. TR2 Technical Reports are submitted to the New York City Department of Buildings prior to the issuance of a building permit. This Technical Report identifies the Big Apple Group as an inspection agency that will perform the concrete testing and inspections. With each inspection, a new TR2 is submitted with accompanying test results to the DOB. This report is also required prior to sign off to certify completion of concrete pouring, sampling and concrete cylinder testing.
When it comes to servicing the needs of the construction industry, no other company is better equipped to provide you a full service Concrete Testing solution than the Big Apple Group.
Concrete mix design is the process of finding right proportions of cement, sand and aggregates for concrete to achieve target strength in structures. The standard for designing a concrete mix is ACI 211.1, Proportions for Normal, Heavyweight, and Mass Concrete.
TR-3 Technical Forms are required to be filed in order to certify the mix designs with the New York City Department of Buildings before your project can begin. The Big Apple Group provides will ensure that concrete mix designs meet your specific requirements while providing a clear cut and efficient certification process throughout the project.
