Construction Materials Testing
Construction Materials Testing: The precise definition of Construction Materials Testing depends on the job and the materials used; however, the intended outcome is always the same: to ensure that materials are safe and reliable, and that they will do the job for many years without expensive maintenance, without damage to the building, and without endangering property or human life. CVET can perform a wide range of tests in the laboratory and the field to determine compliance with plans, specifications, and industry standards.
