CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS TESTING
-- Structures in civil projects today are highly complex and must meet rigid engineering,
construction, and governmental requirements. Product manufacturers, builders, and owners are
increasingly concerned with the quality and performance of the materials used in the project. The
-- quality and handling of these materials can determine the success or failure of a project.
Maxim provides professional materials quality assurance and quality control services to insure that
-- the materials and techniques used meet the required standards and codes. Testing and placement
inspection for materials such as concrete, reinforcing and structural steel, mortars and grouts,
masonry units, and soils are among the many services offered by Maxim in this area. Maxim's
-- field inspection services, supplemented by our fully equipped laboratories, provide a thorough
evaluation of the physical properties of construction materials, combining years of experience with
the latest in technology to assure the success of the project. Services include:
· Soils - laboratory testing and field inspection of fill and fill placement utilizing advanced
methods such as nuclear density assurance.
· Concrete - placement inspection, sampling and testing for quality control and assurance;
services also include evaluation of in-place concrete, mix design, and batch plant inspection,
coring and testing, and petrographic analysis.
· Reinforcing Steel - field inspection of placement, quality control testing and evaluation.
-- · Structural Steel - laboratory and field inspection and placement including non-destructive
methods such as dye penetrant, weld inspection, ultrasonic and X-ray methods, and welder
certification.
· Asphalt - laboratory and field testing and inspection, mix design, and batch plant inspection.
-- · Comtmnents - laboratory and field testing and inspection of construction components such as
curtain wall systems, fasteners, seals, computer flooring, and miscellaneous products and
components. Maxim has in-house capabilities for testing and evaluation of virtually any
-- material or product for failure, conductivity, weathering, and uniformity.
· Concrete Floor Flatness - field testing of concrete floor slabs for determining flatness and
_ levelness using Dipstick Floor Profiler and microcomputer.

GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING
A thorough knowledge of how to interpret and evaluate the properties of subsurface soil
conditions is essential to the successful design of modern structures. Maxim's broad-based
background and experience, combined wRh field and laboratory data, are applied to develop
appropriate, cost-effective parameters and recommendations for each project.
Support facilities include in-house equipment and laboratories for conducting standardized tests
of materials for research and development of new materials and techniques. Our geotechnical
experience is extensive, ranging from residential and high-rise structures to dams, pavements, and
embankments. Each project is unique and the professional services at Maxim are tailored to the
specific criteria and considerations of each client's project. Professional Services include:
· Preliminary or General Studies - site selection and evaluation, preliminary soil and foundation
investigations, site preparation recommendations and assessment of borrow sites.
· Detailed Site and Foundation Investigations - including shallow and deep foundation soil
design parameters, subgrade modification, stabilization and improvement, dewatering
concepts, foundations/construction over compressible soils and retaining wall soil design
parameters.
· Contract Drilling Capabilities - including soil borings, undisturbed sampling, standard and
cone penetration testing, rock coring, groundwater table measurements, monitoring well
installation, and sampling of monitoring wells with full decontamination capabilities.
· Laborator~r Testin~ - including soil identification and classification, consolidation and swelling
tests, triaxial and direct shear tests, moisture density relationships, lime/cement series testing,
falling head and flexible wall membrane permeability tests, California bearing ratio and soil
suction testing.
· Stmcialized Sen~ices - foundation and pavement distress investigations, pavement thickness
recommendations, landfill soil liner evaluations, expert witness and testimony, slope stability
analysis, below grade foundation excavation retention systems, foundation construction
inspections, geotechnical instrumentation, engineering geology and rock mechanics.
