Geotechnical Testing

KEMRON maintains a materials testing laboratory for physical and geotechnical testing of a wide range of material types, including soil, sludge and sediment.  In addition to traditional materials, we test hazardous and radioactive materials such as sludges, process wastes, tarry and oily materials, and other low-solids or contaminated materials. We specialize in designing custom geotechnical testing methods for materials with unique characteristics.

All KEMRON Treatability Lab employees are OSHA 40-hour trained, medically monitored and have years experience in the lab and field testing hazardous materials.  We conduct all testing in accordance with protocols established by the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM), American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), the USEPA, the American Nuclear Society, and the US Army Corps of Engineers.
