The results of laboratory tests are only as good as the procedures that run them. Therefore, city and governmental agencies often require materials laboratories to hold specific certifications and participate in various industry-accreditation programs. At Reliant, our laboratories meet all these requirements.

All our equipment is calibrated and certified to meet or exceed the highest industry standards. Furthermore, our certified laboratory technicians are experienced in performing all testing related to geotechnical design, geotechnical and structural field inspections, concrete trial batches, and forensic evaluations.
