Soil Corrosivity Testing

Project X performs comprehensive soil corrosivity testing per ASTM G187, G57, Caltrans 643, and AASHTO T288 standards. Our lab evaluates resistivity, chloride, sulfate, pH, redox, and moisture conditions to assess potential corrosion risks for buried infrastructure.

Industries served: Utilities, civil engineering, public works, environmental consulting.

Gravel Resistivity Testing

Using ASTM G187, we evaluate gravel and crushed rock resistivity under SSD and saturated conditions. These values inform backfill selection for substations and high-resistance grounding systems.

Industries served: Civil engineers, utilities, EPC contractors.

Thermal Resistivity Testing

Using ASTM D5334 and IEEE 442 protocols, we evaluate how soils conduct heat under varying moisture conditions—critical for underground power lines, solar facilities, and grounding systems. Dry-out curves can be produced from undisturbed or remolded samples.

Industries served: Utilities, solar developers, thermal design engineers.

Water Quality & Scaling Index Evaluations

We evaluate Langelier Saturation Index (LSI), Ryznar Stability Index (RSI), and other metrics to assess scale-forming or corrosive potential in water used for plumbing, cooling towers, or buried systems.

Industries served: Facility engineers, water districts, cooling infrastructure.

Wenner 4-Pin Field Resistivity Testing

In-situ soil resistivity testing using the Wenner 4-pin method provides accurate input for grounding design and cathodic protection systems. We follow ASTM G57 protocols and include multilayer interpretation when needed.

Industries served: Electrical utilities, substations, corrosion engineers.

Our Services

Averaging 3 Days or less turn around time of soil & water corrosivity testing. Same timing for corrosion studies providing corrosion control recommendations for general construction materials. Soil samples can be collected by us or your geotechnical engineer. We can also perform in-situ Wenner 4 Pin Soil Resistivity testing and perform Thermal Resistivity Dry-Out Curves for undisturbed and remolded samples.

Our lab can help with failure analysis of products and materials performing metallurgical analysis, hardness testing, FEA analysis, and metal composition elemental analysis with X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) or Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX). Our investigations can answer the question of “Why did it fail.” and we always provide recommendations to avoid repeating the failure. We also provide corrosion rate analysis of metals in various soil corrosivities and environments.

Corrosion control recommendations for above ground, underground, and submerged environments. We can test for corrosive bacteria, estimate life of materials and install corrosion rate monitoring systems. We can also provide corrosion surveys of infrastructure for above ground and underground infrastructure.

Provided for clients desiring to understand why they have a corrosion problem to determine what should be done to control it.
