Service · Mobile Laboratories

Bring the laboratory to the site.

Conforming mobile laboratories stationed on your project — so specimens are cured, tested and reported where they were cast, and a failing break is known in hours instead of days.

On-site curing · testing · same-day results

The Brief

On a large pour, the drive to the laboratory is the longest part of the test.

Specimens are fragile in their first hours, and every mile of transport is a chance to compromise the result. On high-volume or remote projects, moving cylinders off site also means waiting on a courier before anyone knows whether the pour conformed.

A mobile laboratory removes both problems. Specimens cure in controlled conditions steps from where they were cast, testing runs on calibrated equipment under the same accreditation as our fixed laboratories, and the result reaches the project team the same day.

Same Standard. Shorter Distance.

Capabilities

What the unit does on site.

A deployed laboratory with the equipment, curing capacity and personnel to run the daily program in place.

On-site curing

Temperature-controlled initial curing and moist storage that meets the standard without a road trip.

ASTM C31

Compression testing

Calibrated compression machines for cylinders, cubes and cores, verified on the same interval as our fixed laboratories.

ASTM C39

Soils & aggregate testing

Proctor, gradation and moisture determination performed on site to keep earthwork moving.

Earthwork

High-volume programs

Mat pours, mass concrete and multi-crew sites where specimen counts overwhelm a courier schedule.

Large pours

Remote & secured sites

Airports, secured facilities and locations where daily off-site transport is impractical or restricted.

Restricted access

Field office & reporting

A staffed base for technicians, sample logging and reporting without leaving the project.

What a mobile laboratory does

What travels in the trailer
Station	What it does on site

Mobile laboratory services by Universal Testing & Inspection Services, Inc., an AASHTO/CCRL-accredited construction materials testing firm — West Babylon, NY · Miami, FL · est. 1992.

Deliverables

What changes when the laboratory is on site.

HOURS

Same-day results

Break results reach the project team the day the test runs, not after a courier cycle.

CURE

Curing records

Continuous temperature logs proving specimens were held within the standard from casting to test.

COC

Shorter chain of custody

Fewer transfers between casting and testing, and fewer opportunities for a specimen to be compromised.

CAL

Calibration record

Equipment in the unit is calibrated to NIST-traceable references on the same schedule as the fixed laboratories.

SCOPE

Accreditation scope

Written confirmation of which tests the deployed unit is accredited to perform.

SETUP

Site requirements

A short list of what the unit needs — pad, power and access — agreed before mobilization.

How We Work

Mobilized, accredited, staffed.

A mobile laboratory is only worth deploying if it carries the same accreditation as the building it came from.

Program assessment

We look at specimen volume, site access and reporting deadlines to confirm a mobile unit is actually the right answer.

Siting & setup

The unit is placed, leveled and powered, with curing tanks brought to temperature before the first specimen arrives.

Verification

Equipment is calibrated and the accreditation scope for the deployed unit is confirmed in writing before testing begins.

Daily operation

Certified technicians cast, cure, log and test on site, with curing temperatures recorded continuously.

Review & release

Results are reviewed by a licensed professional and issued the same day, exactly as they would be from a fixed laboratory.

Proximity is only an advantage if the accreditation travels with the equipment. Ours does.

Where to next

Large pour, remote site, tight schedule?

Tell us the specimen volume and the site conditions. We will confirm whether a mobile unit is warranted and what it requires within one business day.
