LAB TESTING AREAS
Concrete and Construction Materials
Standardized and custom testing to evaluate performance, composition, and durability of cementitious systems - from field cores to lab-cast specimens.
At the forefront of concrete science, our Concrete Materials Department provides advanced analysis of hardened concrete, shotcrete, mortar, and raw materials. By integrating petrographic techniques with chemical and microstructural evaluation, we provide reliable data to inform engineering decisions, troubleshoot failures, and ensure compliance with project specifications. Our services support forensic investigations, new construction, and research and development.
Case study
How AeroTech Secured Its Future
When AeroTech Industries faced recurring defects in a crucial aircraft component, they were at risk of losing multi-million dollar contracts and jeopardizing the jobs of hundreds of employees. They enlisted the help of RJ Lee Group, who quickly deployed a team of technical experts. Through state-of-the-art forensic analysis, RJ Lee Group identified and rectified the root cause—a flaw in the casting process—eliminating the defect and preserving AeroTech's contracts.
