MARCH 20238PANORAMATHREE WAYS TO UTILIZE LABORATORY & FIELD-TESTING SERVICESLaboratory and field-testing services are essential to the construction industry. Without them, engineers would not be able to determine whether their designs are feasible and safe for use in real-world situations. While the construction sector continues to be one of the most dangerous industries it is also considered to be one of the most environmentally-friendly industries. This is owing to the lesser resources that are being used by the industry when compared to any other industries. However, it does not mean that there are no risks involved with construction projects, there are numerous types of risks that are required to be evaluated prior to beginning any work on a new building or even a renovation project, and one such risk is whether or not the materials that are being used for construction will hold up under extreme temperatures or weather conditions.Such issues can be resolved by conducting laboratory tests on samples of concrete before mixing it into the final form so that engineers will be aware of the exact amount and kind of material they are working with before mixing concrete into forms ready for pouring into foundations or walls so. Some of the applications that are used to ensure these include the following - Quality Assurance Testing, Environmental Impact Studies, and Research & Development.Quality Assurance TestingField inspections & materials testing play a vital role in construction, repair & rehabilitation projects. The analyses that are conducted help in determining the conformance of materials in order to not only project specifications but also prevent blunders that result from the use of substandard
