Concrete and Aggregate Materials Testing

The Thrasher Group North Carolina offers materials testing for concrete and aggregates from our AASHTO and CCRL accredited laboratory in Gastonia.

Our highly skilled lab technicians offer concrete field testing (conducted by an ACI Certified Concrete Field Technician Grade 1); concrete lab testing (conducted by an ACI Certified Concrete Strength Testing Technician); and aggregate testing (conducted by an ACI Certified Aggregate Testing Technician Level 1).

Compaction testing with a nuclear density gauge is available as well.
