Specialized Testing and Services​

Specialized Testing

MTI’s Specialized Testing assess the quality, durability, and performance of concrete and asphalt structures, ensuring they meet specific standards. These tests, either non-destructive or semi-destructive, evaluate materials without causing significant damage, while identifying potential weaknesses that impact structural integrity such as poor bonding, moisture issues, cracks, or insufficient strength. They play a critical role in maintenance, helping to detect early signs of failure and guiding repairs. Additionally, these tests are vital for quality control and compliance, ensuring installations meet industry standards for safer, more durable structures.​

MTI’s full scope of Specialized Testing includes

  • Bond test – tensile strength of overlays and overlayments
  • Concrete and asphalt coring and testing
  • Windsor probe testing
  • Concrete moisture emission test
  • Crack monitoring gauges and evaluation
  • Floor flatness and levelness testing (ASTM E-1155)​​

Specialized Service

Description of MTI services and benefits: MTI’s Specialized Services include Pre-condition and Post-construction Surveys to assess and document the condition of surrounding properties, infrastructure, or land at different stages of a construction project. They serve to identify and monitor any potential damage caused by the construction activities.

Pre-condition surveys are conducted before construction begins to document the existing baseline state of nearby structures, roads, utilities, and the surrounding environment. This survey typically includes visual inspections, photographs, and written reports to record any pre-existing defects such as cracks, settlements, water leaks, or other structural or cosmetic issues.
Post-construction surveys are performed after construction work is complete to compare the current condition of the same structures and areas documented in the pre-condition survey. The survey checks for any new damage, deterioration, or changes that may have occurred because of construction activities, such as cracks, vibrations, or subsidence.
