An accurate and comprehensive hazardous materials abatement design (Abatement Design) is a valuable component of any project involving the disturbance or potential disturbance of known or suspect hazardous materials.
The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is the industry standard for the sampling and analysis of soils within the geotechnical design profession; providing a cost effective means to estimate strength and response characteristics of various soil types at nearly any depth.
Construction projects are in the process of closing up their building envelopes. Now is the time to verify proper window, door, and curtain wall installations for resistance to air and water infiltration.
A Community Air Monitoring Plan (CAMP) reduces the potential for airborne contaminant releases from a project site and provides a measure of protection for communities downwind of contaminated sites. This is accomplished by establishing action levels in response to real-time monitoring for volatile organic compounds (VOC) and particulates (i.e., dust).
I had a college professor that said concrete was guaranteed to do two things…harden and crack. Hardened concrete is the result of hydration, a chemical reaction between cement and water. The loss of water from the concrete as it cures results in a reduction in concrete volume, or shrinkage.
Atlantic Testing Laboratories (ATL) is proud to announce that Steven Moore, PE, has been selected to serve on the ASTM Main Committee C09 (Concrete and Concrete Aggregates) and is a voting member of Subcommittee C09.64 (Nondestructive and In-Place Testing).
