Geotechnical Laboratory Services for Soil and Rock Analysis

Geotechnical testing is a cornerstone of safe, practical engineering and construction. At Atlantic Testing Laboratories (ATL), we have been delivering high-quality geotechnical laboratory testing for over 50 years, supporting projects across New York State and throughout the United States. Our comprehensive soil and rock testing services provide the critical data required for geotechnical design, site characterization, and construction quality control.

With AASHTO-accredited laboratories and a team of experienced, certified technicians, ATL ensures precise, consistent results. Whether your project involves transportation infrastructure, energy utilities, commercial development, or environmental remediation, ATL offers reliable geotechnical information to keep your project on track.

Supporting Geotechnical Design and Construction Success

Understanding the physical and mechanical properties of soil and rock is essential for informed decision-making during both the design and construction phases of a project. ATL’s geotechnical laboratory services include both standard and specialized testing to determine parameters such as soil strength, compaction, moisture content, and permeability.

Our experienced team supports clients by not only performing the necessary tests but also by coordinating logistics. ATL can arrange for the pickup of soil and rock samples or provide shipping assistance to ensure quick and secure transport to one of our nine accredited laboratories.
