Home - CED Welcomes

Our Geotechnical Laboratory provides a full range of geotechnical engineering and construction materials testing services consisting of geotechnical (soil/rock), aggregate & research materials.

The laboratory functions as a production facility for standard property testing with multiple testing programs being submitted daily for quick turnaround. Our laboratory is equipped to handle and test contaminated soil samples.

Soil Index Testing

Engineering soil properties are tested via static (non-cyclic) methods such as Unconfined Compression, Triaxial (UU, CU, CD), Consolidation, Direct Shear, Direct Simple Shear and Permeability.

Advance Soil Testing

Engineering soil properties are tested via cyclic/dynamic methods such as Triaxial and Direct Simple Shear.

Specialty Soil Testing

TerraSense performs testing services for a variety of construction materials, including aggregates, contaminated soils, grouts, amended soils (soil-cement, soil-lime, soil-bentonite), slurries, and controlled low-strength materials (CLSM). The testing is conducted in accordance with applicable ASTM, and AASHTO test procedures when available.

Aggregate Testing

We provide strength, deformation and index testing of rock samples in accordance with ASTM and ISRM test procedures. The lab uses high-capacity testing equipment to perform strength testing of rock including unconfined compression, direct shear, Brazilian tensile strength, elastic modulus, triaxial strength. We can prepare test specimens from, boulders, bulk samples or cores with our equipment.

Rock Testing

We have the flexibility, experience and know-how to customize equipment and procedures to test for unusual or unique requirements. This includes equipment to conduct large scale consolidation testing of wick drain materials. We can also perform workability tests on sediments and stabilization admixtures such as lime and cement.
