MATERIALS TESTING SERVICES

AACE provides high quality materials testing services on a variety of projects, from miles of highways and roadways to residential communities and commercial developments. A refreshing, common-sense approach and a willingness to best serve our clients with on-call, part-time or full-time services, epitomizes the AACE philosophy. We believe that the purpose of the testing personnel is to facilitate the timely completion of a construction project, not to be a detriment to the project schedule or budget. Whether we are requested to test the compressive strength of concrete used to construct a multistory condominium, or determine if adequate soil compaction has been applied to house pads and utility trenches, our personnel are trained and equipped to deal with issues as they occur, and can provide assistance when appropriate. Our field representatives are cross-trained in various areas of testing and inspection, to allow for rapid and effective response to our clients’ needs
Our staff of field and laboratory technicians has an average of 15 years of local experience, and – while always representing the interests of our Client – will endeavor to provide expert QA/QC testing services to help ensure a quality finished product. Our materials testing laboratory is CMEC accredited and FDOT certified annually. Additionally, our technicians routinely undergo FDOT Independent Assurance (I.A.) reviews.
