The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) conducts construction materials testing to ensure that building materials are safe and reliable.
What are Construction Materials, and Why is Construction Materials Testing Important?
Construction materials, or building materials, are materials and substances used in construction. These materials can be naturally occurring, like wood, stone, clay, or synthetic, such as concrete, glass, metals, and plastics.
Building materials testing helps engineers and builders determine if their products and materials are of sufficient quality for specific construction projects. Construction materials testing is wide-ranging and an essential component of each stage of the construction process.
