 Craig Testing Laboratories, Inc. offers a very wide range of soils
inspections,
investigations and laboratory analysis. They range from onsite
inspections to in-house analysis of soil and rock materials.
Projects
usually begin with Craig Test Boring Company performing the
soil borings and the engineering division providing the geotechnical
recommendations
for foundation construction.
When the project is designed for footing excavation,
we supply a field
technician to observe the excavation, enforce the recommendations
of the geotechnical report and ensure stability.
If the project requires additional fill materials,
we can witness the placement
and compaction of each lift of fill material and test
its density
(compaction) utilizing one of our 29 nuclear densometers.
A densometer
is a device, powered by a small amount of radiation,
used to measure the
density of the soil. We compare the in-place density
to the maximum
density obtained in the laboratory that allows us to
determine the in place
percent of compaction.
