Independent Testing Laboratories originated as a soil testing laboratory under the guidance of our founder Mr. Charles Pickett. Our firm has the capabilities and specialized equipment to perform testing and inspection services from Soils Engineering, design of foundation systems, soils and rock drilling to laboratory support toward soils stabilization and in-place densities with conventional and nuclear test equipment. Our drilling equipment includes portable skid and truck mounted rigs, designed to meet the most difficult of field conditions found in the northeast United States. High torque capacities enables us to drill through various rock formations and special environmental situations. Soil engineers and geologists on staff oversee all drilling and testing operations including reporting. Special on-site and design problems are continuously solved through the combined efforts of our field engineering and laboratory staff. On your next project, hire the professional team from Independent testing laboratories.

From laboratory design mix to site inspection of dura-wall between mortar joints, our laboratory technicians are trained to assure all materials used and installed are in accordance with applicable specifications. This is accomplished by compression testing of masonry blocks, brick, test prisms, casting of mortar cubes and additional laboratory testing. We have pioneered the use of the Windsor Penetrometer for in-place strength determination of masonry joints for Board of Standards and Appeals approval in New York City. Core drilling of all diameters is a specialty of our firm. Whether upside down, in the water, technician cages lowered from a cherry picker or might drilling in subway tunnels, we are the most versatile laboratory to get your job done and on time!
