Construction services performed by KTI involve all required on-site observation and testing as well as laboratory testing to insure compliance with contract specifications. Our staff of trained technicians is always prepared to meet our clients’ needs as well as any unexpected testing requirements as they may arise. We offer the highest quality services by following the standards set forth by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). We believe our trained and experienced staff, coordinating efforts between owners, architects, engineers, contractors, and regulators, will help provide our clients with project schedule achievement, overall cost savings, and quality projects with long term performance.





KTI's laboratory conducts a variety of testing on construction materials. Materials tested include concrete, aggregates, asphalt, fine and coarse grained fill materials, spray applied fire proofing, pavement and masonry materials, undisturbed soil samples and rock and pavement cores. From field sampling to laboratory analysis and presentation of final test results ASTM procedures are utilized. KTI is also an A2LA accredited laboratory and all test procedures, equipment, personnel and results are reviewed under the quality system mandated by this certification.




This includes UBC & BOCA special inspection, resident engineering services, sampling, testing and documenting of all required tests and materials.
