Concrete Testing

H. H. Holmes Testing inspects, tests and makes recommendations regarding new or existing concrete. We test the properties of plastic concrete during placement to ensure conformance to project specifications. Our longstanding membership in ACI and ASTM assures we will be knowledgeable of any new developments in concrete and placement. We provide the highest standard of concrete testing and observation for air content, slump, temperature, preparation of concrete cylinders for compressive strength testing, as well as reinforcing steel, floor flatness and levelness testing. In-place concrete can also be tested for compressive strength with Swiss Hammer or Maturity Monitoring.
