Construction Material Testing (CMT) is a critical component in the process of taking a structure from the blueprint and making it a reality. CMT has been a key component of Schultz Surveying & Engineering (SSE) since our company was founded in 1997.

Our clients have come to depend on SSE’s materials testing staff of professionals to protect their interests during the final design and the construction phase of their projects. At SSE, we are acutely aware that inaccurate subsurface/geological evaluations and construction delays translate into extra costs. Our CMT team has vast experience and a thorough understanding of local materials and construction practices, thus allowing us to help our clients anticipate and minimize potential issues and delays.SSE maintains multi-faceted modern materials testing laboratories equipped with soils testing equipment such as strength and compaction devices, sieves, scales, ovens, soil classification stations, molds, and other equipment necessary to provide moisture content, bearing ratios, density data, boring data for soils and rock, and asphalt testing.

We are also equipped with mobile state of the art laboratories that can be placed on the job site.  Our materials testing laboratories are accredited by several state Transportation Departments and the USACE.

SSE can handle the CMT on any size job or type of project – from commercial and industrial properties to government public works projects. We can provide services on a continuous or intermittent frequency. SSE works as part of your construction team to keep your project on track.

As a result of SSE’s commitment to accurate and reliable test results and our high standards of quality control, SSE is one of SSE is one of the select companies that have been approved for a Blanket Purchase Agreement with the USACE New Orleans district. To date, SSE has provided QC testing services on numerous projects in New Orleans for companies such as Tetra Tech, Archer Western Contractors, Odebrecht, WR Compass, Southern Services and LS &CKY to name just a few. We are also providing QA testing services to the USACE on 16 other projects.
