Construction Materials Testing (CMT) & Inspection

Turn to NicNevol Engineering specialized laboratory and field testing for quality assurance

Whether you’re constructing a roadway, resurfacing a parking lot, adding features to a public park or installing a sewer system, NicNevol Engineering technical experts can determine if your project is being completed the right way.

Is the contractor completing work as specified and designed? Are consistent, high-quality materials being used? Are grading and excavation being performed properly? Are project specifications being met?

NicNevol Engineering passes the test for accuracy, objectivity, reliability and integrity

As with any inspection, you must trust the one performing it. Our professional staff includes registered engineers and technicians trained and certified in construction materials testing by ACI (American Concrete Institute), FDOT’s CTQP (Construction Training Qualification Program), NCAT (National Center for Asphalt Technology) and various other qualification agencies. We have completed construction materials testing and inspection services for a variety of roadway, bridge, building, and airport projects which includes taxiways, runways, airport aprons, and airport terminal facilities. Utility projects include the inspection and testing of sewer mains, manholes, lift stations, sanitary sewer improvements, storm water drainage improvements, wastewater treatment plants, and utility relocations.

Our technicians have conducted countless tests using industry wide state-of-the-art equipment. If NicNevol Engineers is already on your job site, use our experts for inspection and material testing to help you save in numerous ways. We'll know how your job is progressing, so we'll schedule testing to prevent downtime, even after hours, to keep your project on track. Because our services will be part of the total project cost, fees will be lower than having your contractor pay an outside firm to perform them. By having confidence in us, the results will lead to a project that will withstand the test of time.
