As part of our laboratory accreditation, FTG participates in proficiency sampling programs for a variety of tests and materials, and one of our most requested services is concrete inspection/lab testing.

Concrete proficiency sampling involves mixing a batch of concrete here at the lab, performing all field and lab tests, such as slump, air content, compressive strength, and density, and sending the results to CCRL (Cement and Concrete Reference Library). The data from all participating labs is averaged, and our lab is checked against that result.

This provides valuable data regarding the inherent uncertainty of a given test method, which can then be applied to all sorts of engineering and quality control concepts.

It also allows us to ensure that we produce data within the standard range of deviation. This helps us maintain our quality and our accreditation, and it's just plain good practice.
