GEOTECHNICAL LABORATORY TESTING
NEAS provides geotechnical testing services through our AASHTO-accredited testing laboratories. Our geologists and trained technicians, under the direction of our geotechnical engineers, perform a host of tests and analyses related to soils and geotechnical investigations
NEAS’ well-equipped laboratory allows for the processing and testing of a large volume of soil and rock samples at any given time, therefore, we can handle virtually any size testing assignment. Staff expertise and ongoing training in the use of gINT geotechnical data management software helps ensure that logs and test data are managed efficiently and that reports are standardized.
