CITY OF ROYAL OAK - ROYAL OAK, MICHIGAN
In various years, CTI has provided construction testing services to the city on various projects located throughout Royal Oak. CTI worked directly with several city engineers on projects that included MDOT and City Funding. Our laboratory furnished test results on soils, asphalt, concrete, and the tensile strength of bolts to ensure proper adherence to specified materials. Our evolvement with the city of Royal Oak has encompassed a major portion of the spectrum of various testing services that we can provide.

Inspection and On-Site Testing Services
A commonly used factor used to estimate the cost of re-work on a construction project is 3 to 5 times the cost of the initial work, not to mention schedule impacts. Therefore, it is critical to ensure that the work is installed properly the first time. CTI also offers our clients on-site inspection and materials testing services to verify that the right materials are being used and that they are installed properly. Our inspection and material testing technicians are certified by ASTM, ACI, and MDOT professionals, and have the experience to ensure strict adherence to project specifications, or to assist in evaluating site conditions. CTI provides highly responsive, comprehensive and accurate results when you need them, wherever you need them.
