Quality Assurance
The quality control
process at Allied Engineering and Testing begins by assigning experienced,
technically trained and certified staff to each project. The staff members
are fully briefed about the project requirements before beginning the
work. Daily progress reports, test results and final reports are reviewed
by the project manager and a registered professional engineer.
The equipment
and procedures used in our testing are routinely calibrated at predetermined
intervals, usually more frequently than required by ASTM Specifications.
Calibration standards/equipment are traceable to the National Bureau of
Standards.
Our laboratory
facilities are fully equipped to complete all routine testing required
for your projects. Allied Engineering and Testing's laboratory has been
inspected by the Concrete Materials Engineering Council (CMEC) and was
deemed to conform to ASTM C 1077 specifications, "Practice for Laboratories
Testing Concrete and Concrete Aggregates for Use in Construction and Criteria
for Laboratory Evaluation". Our concrete testing facility includes
an isolated constant humidity, temperature controlled cure room with capacity
to store 1000 6" x 12" concrete test cylinders. The temperature
is monitored 24 hours a day with a Taylor Weather-Hawk recording thermometer
and the relative humidity is maintained at 100% with a Walton Humidifier.
Our compression testing machine is equipped with a calibrated dual range
system so that low strength and normal strength concrete and other cementitious
materials may be tested.
FDOT Inspected
and Approved Laboratory
Our
laboratory facilities have also been "inspected in-depth" by
the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). This IID procedure is
more rigorous than the CMEC inspection and is required by the FDOT prior
to performing Quality Control or Acceptance testing. During the last IID
inspection, Allied Engineering and Testing was awarded with a perfect
score of 100, with no deficiencies. Allied Engineering and Testing is
proud of this accomplishment and is pleased that our commitment to quality
is recognized by the FDOT.
