Calibration Services for the Construction Industry

Precision Calibration Services for Construction Materials and Machinery

The construction industry builds the foundation of modern society, creating infrastructure, buildings, and structures that must withstand decades of use while ensuring public safety and structural integrity. From concrete strength testing and steel quality verification to hydraulic system performance and heavy equipment operation, construction materials and machinery require precise measurement and calibration that ensures safety, durability, and regulatory compliance.

Quality Surveillance, Inc., backed by the trusted Accredited Labs network, provides comprehensive calibration services designed for the demanding requirements and challenging environments of construction materials testing and heavy machinery operations.

The Critical Foundation of Calibration in Construction

Construction projects represent massive investments in infrastructure, buildings, and public works that serve communities for generations. The materials, equipment, and testing systems used in construction must provide reliable performance and accurate measurements that ensure structural integrity, worker safety, and long-term durability. When measurement systems fail or provide inaccurate data, the consequences can include structural failures, safety hazards, project delays, and costly repairs or rebuilding.

The construction industry's increasing emphasis on sustainability, advanced materials, and precision construction techniques creates growing demands for measurement accuracy and quality assurance. Modern construction projects require sophisticated testing equipment, monitoring systems, and quality control programs that depend on calibrated instruments for reliable data and regulatory compliance.

Industry Standards and Regulatory Compliance

AASHTO R18 Accreditation for Construction Materials Testing Laboratories
In the field of construction materials testing, AASHTO R18 stands as a foundational quality management standard developed by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. It outlines stringent requirements for laboratory quality systems, personnel training, equipment calibration, and internal audits specific to construction materials testing environments. AASHTO R18 accreditation is widely recognized by state departments of transportation (DOTs) and federal agencies as a benchmark for laboratory competence and reliability.

We support laboratories seeking or maintaining AASHTO R18 compliance by providing calibration services that meet or exceed the standard’s technical requirements. Our work helps ensure that your testing equipment delivers accurate, traceable, and defensible results—critical to project approvals, quality control, and public safety across civil and transportation infrastructure projects.

ASTM International Standards
Construction materials testing follows comprehensive ASTM standards that specify testing procedures, equipment requirements, and calibration criteria. Our calibration services ensure compliance with ASTM standards for concrete, steel, asphalt, and other construction materials testing.

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
Construction equipment and workplace safety require compliance with OSHA regulations for equipment operation, testing, and safety systems. Our calibration services ensure that safety equipment and testing systems meet OSHA requirements for worker protection.

International Building Code (IBC) and Local Codes
Construction projects must comply with building codes and local regulations that specify material requirements, testing procedures, and quality standards. Our calibration services support compliance with building codes and regulatory requirements across different jurisdictions.

ISO 9001 Quality Management
Construction companies and testing laboratories increasingly implement ISO 9001 quality management systems that require comprehensive calibration programs. Our services support ISO certification and quality management requirements for construction organizations.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Standards
Construction equipment and operations must comply with EPA emissions standards and environmental regulations. Our calibration services support emissions testing, environmental monitoring, and regulatory compliance for construction equipment and operations.
