Qualicore Materials Testing Services

We provide comprehensive testing, inspection, and certification services with unmatched expertise and reliability.

Soil Testing

Ensure legal compliance, meet regulatory clean-up standards, and safeguard public health with comprehensive soil testing and analysis from Qualicore Solutions. Federal and state regulatory agencies mandate specific clean-up thresholds before property titles can be transferred or construction projects can begin. These requirements vary based on the intended land use—commercial or residential—and are designed to minimize human exposure to contaminants through direct ingestion, inhalation, or dermal absorption.

Concrete Testing

Concrete is the foundation of your project’s integrity. To meet strict building codes and safety regulations, independent third-party testing is essential. Qualicore Solutions provides a dedicated suite of concrete analysis services, ensuring your mix designs perform exactly as engineered, from the first pour to the final cure.

Asphalt Testing

Asphalt has evolved from a conventional commodity into a high-tech construction material. With increasing demand and tightening performance criteria, ensuring material integrity is critical. Minor deviations in quality can lead to significant structural failures and costly project overruns. Qualicore Solutions provides a comprehensive suite of asphalt testing services—including sampling, rigorous analysis, and trade inspection—to help you manage risk and guarantee compliance.

Aggregate Testing

At Qualicore Solutions, we provide a full spectrum of aggregate testing services designed to ensure the structural integrity and longevity of your projects. Our technical expertise goes beyond simple data collection; we leverage comprehensive testing insights to help you develop high-performance concrete and mortar mix designs.

The Qualicore Quality Program

When you partner with Qualicore Solutions, you benefit from a global standard of excellence:

  • Proficiency Testing: Our laboratories participate in international "round robin" proficiency schemes to maintain industry-leading accuracy.
  • Global Standards: All inspections are conducted according to accepted petroleum and petrochemical standards, including API, MPMS, UOP, and IP.
  • Technical Consulting: We belong to key industry organizations (ASTM, ISO, CEN) and can help you select the most appropriate standards to cite in your contracts to mitigate risk.

Aggregate Testing

The Qualicore Standard

Superior results begin with superior materials. To guarantee a robust bond between cement and aggregate, materials must be:

  • Clean and properly graded
  • Hard, strong, and durable
  • Free from chemical contaminants or clay coatings that compromise adhesion.

Through rigorous quality control and selection guidance, we ensure your materials meet or exceed all industry specifications, providing you with total confidence in your supply chain.
