Construction Materials Inspection and Testing Services
Greetings,
Per the request,Ms.Laura Kohls,1454 STATE ROUTE 9,LLC.,we are pleased to inform youCONSTRUCTIONTECHNOLOGYhasbeenretainedtoprovidetheconstructionmaterials
inspection and testing services required of the referenced project including but not limited to:
Soil compaction,structural steel,and portland cement concrete inspection and testing.
As such,we would like a moment to introduce our organization.
CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY is the construction materials inspection division of
Product Development &Technical Services,Inc.Since our 1984 incorporation in New York
State,we have been devoted to providing the highest standards of on time field inspection,
testing and laboratory support to the construction industry.Our desire is «QC/QA involvement
with projects committed to timely completion while satisfying the quality controls and
assurances necessary to support today’s strict design criteria
All too often materials inspections are viewed as a necessary evil or a requirement to be
overlooked.Many times the laboratory brings this attitude on itself because of less than fully
qualified personnel,tardy response time or uncompromising attitudes of technicians
Given the opportunity,we are confident we can provide the services that reflect our strong
desire to be an asset to the construction pro
Our facility and field technical force is supportedbystateofthearttestequipment,including
nuclear soil/asphalt density test equipment,automatic soil moisture/density (Proctor)apparatus,
temperature/humidity controlled curing environments for concrete specimens,and all other
necessary equipment to satisfy the requirements of the American Society for Testing and
Materials (ASTM)standards C-1077 and E-329 as they relate to a commercial inspection
agency.
CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY has submitted to outside auditing by having our
personnel,equipment,facility and quality assurance plan evaluated by the Cement and
Concrete Reference Laboratory (CCRL)of the National Standards Institute.A copy of the
CCRLINSI audit and finding is available upon request.
