<br />Kleinfelder laboratory facilities offer state-of-the-art capabilities in PCC, asphalt concrete, steel,

<br />masonry, and bituminous materials. Our laboratory and field-testing capabilities include the use
<br />of specialized equipment not found with many firms. Another value-added service Kleinfelder
<br />offers is self-contained mobile laboratories to conduct a variety of soils, materials, and concrete
<br />testing on site. All mobile laboratories undergo appropriate reviews, inspections, and
<br />certifications prior to commencement of construction.
