Engineering and Testing Services, Inc. is proud to have one of the largest equipped concrete, soils, steel, and materials testing laboratories in Hampton Roads — ranking in the top 2% of approved testing methods accredited by AASHTO and validated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Geotechnical testing capabilities include aggregates, asphalt materials, masonry, grout, brick and block, concrete foundations, steel, and fireproofing. Our lab's extensive inventory of field and laboratory testing equipment is equipped for any project testing demands.

CBR, unconfined, and triaxial testing; concrete's ability to resist chloride ion penetration; and a full range of soils and aggregate analyses are conducted with state-of-the-art equipment. All laboratory test results are generated electronically. All technicians are ACI and/or VDOT certified to conduct soil and concrete testing, and laboratory equipment is calibrated annually by Professional Calibration, Inc.

ETS also offers customized mobile on-site soils and concrete laboratories to conduct all necessary testing on specialized or large projects.

AASHTO Accreditation — The ETS laboratory accreditation is granted by the AASHTO Accreditation Program (AAP) and is limited to our laboratory and the standards and capabilities for which we are accredited. For our detailed scope of testing, visit the AAP Directory of Accredited Laboratories.

Engineering & Testing Services provides a full range of Quality Assurance, Quality Control, and Project Management services led by a team of licensed Professional Engineers and Construction Managers to ensure cost savings, quality work, and minimized risk.

Our Quality Control process begins with the initial project review, where we assess the scope of work and identify the specific quality requirements that must be met. We then create a detailed project plan outlining the procedures, methods, and equipment necessary to meet those requirements. Throughout the project life cycle, our Quality Assurance team continuously monitors and inspects all work performed to ensure compliance with the approved project plan and applicable codes and regulations — using state-of-the-art equipment for non-destructive testing and evaluations, with meticulous records documenting all work performed.

We regularly review and update our Quality Control and Quality Assurance program to reflect the latest industry standards and best practices, and provide ongoing training and education to our staff.

ETS is the only Geotechnical Testing and Inspection Services team to have worked in QC or QA on all significant Tunnel Expansions: the Midtown Tunnel / MLK Expressway Expansion, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, and the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel.
