Earth Retaining Structures laboratories may also do the following tests:

Geotechnical Testing: Assesses soil composition Testing
density Testing
and strength to determine the appropriate type of retaining structure Testing
Load Testing: Evaluates the structure?s ability to withstand the pressures exerted by the retained soil Testing
including dynamic loads like earthquakes Testing
Drainage Testing: Ensures proper drainage systems are in place to prevent water buildup that could affect the stability of the structure Testing
Durability Testing: Examines materials for resistance to weathering Testing
corrosion Testing
