SGS TEC Services provides independent testing, inspection, and technical expertise for project owners, contractors, consultants, engineers, government agencies, material producers, and suppliers across the construction industry.
Our multidisciplinary team evaluates concrete, aggregates, mortar, masonry, asphalt, coatings, and other construction materials used in buildings, roads, bridges, and critical infrastructure. Through accurate testing, detailed analysis, and expert evaluation, we help clients verify material quality, investigate failures, manage risk, and support the long-term performance and durability of their projects.
Our services support projects at every stage – from material selection and product development through construction, investigation, repair, and long-term maintenance
Decades of Technical Expertise
From Routine Quality Control to Specialized Testing Solutions
Our multidisciplinary team of experts includes professional engineers, geologists, petrographers, chemists, ACI-certified inspectors, laboratory technicians, and construction materials specialists.
This broad range of expertise allows us to evaluate materials from multiple perspectives and develop testing programs tailored to each project.
Accredited Independent Testing Laboratory
SGS TEC operates an ISO/IEC 17025 and AASHTO-accredited construction materials testing laboratory.
Our quality systems, testing procedures, equipment, and technical personnel are regularly evaluated to help ensure accurate, consistent, and traceable results. We perform testing in accordance with recognized standards, including ASTM, AASHTO, ACI, CSA, DOT and other industry-specific requirements.
Supporting Critical Infrastructure
Our work supports the construction and maintenance of buildings, roads and highways, bridges, parking structures, industrial facilities, utilities, and other critical infrastructure. We help clients reduce uncertainty, manage risk, verify compliance, and extend the service life of construction materials and structures.
Our goal is simple: to provide clear, reliable insights that help you make informed decisions and move your projects forward with confidence.
Petrography Expertise Few Labs Can Match
We go beyond routine testing. Through advanced petrographic examination, clients gain a deeper understanding of material composition and performance. These insights help identify the causes of deterioration, investigate failures, verify compliance, and support informed decisions about repairs, maintenance, and future construction projects.
By combining visual examination techniques with advanced instrumentation, our state-of-the-art petrography laboratory delivers rapid, accurate results through laser-based optical microscopes that provide both high-magnification imaging and chemical characterization in a single platform.
