Our geotechnical engineering testing facility provides field soil compaction testing using a nuclear density gauge to verify that compacted soils meet project specifications. This testing measures in-place soil density and moisture content and is commonly performed during site development, foundation preparation, roadway construction, and utility installation.
A trained technician performs the test directly on the compacted material and compares the results to laboratory compaction standards, typically based on proctor testing. The results help determine whether the placed fill has reached the required compaction level outlined in the project plans or geotechnical report.
Our team performs these tests as part of routine construction materials testing and geotechnical inspection services, documenting field density results and providing the information needed for project quality control and compliance with construction requirements.
