QA/QC Construction Materials Testing & Inspection
Our Services
At Civil Solutions (CSA) and Eastern Sierra Engineering (ESE), our QA/QC services ensure that construction materials and processes meet the highest standards of safety, durability, and compliance. We provide certified testing and inspection for soils, aggregates, concrete, and asphalt in both field and laboratory settings. With AASHTO-accredited labs and experienced technicians, our teams deliver precise results and responsive support to contractors, municipalities, and developers. From compaction testing to mix design verification, we safeguard project quality from the ground up.

ESE Materials Testing
Our engineers and materials testers provide materials testing for RTC, the City of Reno, TMWA, FHWA, FAA, NDOT, and various Nevada counties and cities. We have provided materials testing services on roadways, airfields, parks, storm water management, utility and site design projects. We have developed and implemented a quality control program to ensure accuracy of results in materials testing, and to ensure all construction services are of the highest quality. Our testing personnel are among the most qualified available and provide outstanding service. All our testing personnel are Nevada Alliance for Quality Transportation Construction (NAQTC), American Concrete Institute (ACI) and Nuclear Gauge certified. We have extensive experience using NDOT, ASTM and AASHTO Test Methods and have worked on many utility and large transportation projects within northern Nevada.
ESE Certified Laboratories
We maintain two permanent construction materials testing laboratories and two mobile materials testing laboratories for use in remote areas. Our Reno laboratory is AASHTO accredited, Caltrans certified, and fully equipped to perform all testing required for water system related projects including soils, aggregate, asphalt, and concrete testing. Our Bishop laboratory is also Caltrans certified. Maintaining materials laboratories in Reno and Bishop provides resource sharing which significantly increases our capacity. We also have multiple individuals trained and certified in materials testing which allows for multishifts and optimizes the use of equipment.
Our laboratories commonly perform over 40 asphalt concrete mix designs
each year and have tested millions of tons of mix over the years. We pride
ourselves in our immediate response to requests for services and in the
precision of our results.
