Our Services
As the basic structural foundation for almost all construction, soil materials play an important role in the ultimate success of a project. Understanding the soil properties of your project help you make good construction decisions.
Sampling
Sampling services include travel to and from the site, sampling of indicated material(s), and delivery to lab(s) by a SoilTek team member. Field team members procure samples according to procedures outlined by the University of Minnesota Soil Testing Laboratory.
Labs we currently use:
-University of Minnesota Soil Testing Laboratory – St. Paul
-Soil Engineering Testing, Inc. (SET) - Richfield
Testing
Testing is determined on a case-by-case basis taking into consideration the material being tested, the required compliance, and the client’s individual interests. For topsoils, typically a basic 4-part series is run which includes Spurway/Florist, Garden, Gradation, and Hydrometer testing. For composts, peats, and specialty mixes,
Review & Analysis
The option of individual review by an in-house/research team member is available once results are received. This is particularly useful for clients looking to understand what results indicate about soil performance and where/why certain parameters haven’t been met. Report information draws heavily on research made accessible by the University of Minnesota and by ongoing research completed by annual interns.
Compliance Management
This includes all of the above services.
