Cal-Cert Becomes the Largest CMT Calibration Provider in the U.S.

Cal-Cert™ has recently marked a significant milestone, establishing itself as the largest provider of construction materials testing (CMT) calibration services in the United States. This vital development comes through the consolidation of five CMT-focused brands under one banner, all operating with the trusted expertise of Accredited Labs. The brands that have unified include Calser, Servo Innovations, Calibration Services Inc., ATSNUC, and Northwest Technical Services—now all collectively known as Cal-Cert.

The initiative to consolidate these brands offers numerous advantages to construction materials testing labs, allowing them to rely on a single, comprehensive source for a range of calibration needs, including nuclear density gauge calibration and equipment for soil and concrete testing. This change simplifies the logistics for customers who previously had to manage relationships with multiple service providers for different equipment types. By operating under one name, Cal-Cert aims to greatly enhance customer experience and operational efficiency.

Importance of Cal-Cert for the Industry

In the construction industry, accurate and timely testing of soil, concrete, and asphalt is crucial for the integrity of infrastructure projects. To meet the standards set by ASTM and AASHTO, it is essential that the equipment used in these tests undergoes regular calibration by a reliable, accredited laboratory. Traditionally, a lab might have collaborated with various brands for different tools, such as separate services for nuclear gauges and scales. With the formation of Cal-Cert, all calibration needs can now be handled through a single point of contact.

• - Single Source: Lab owners can now utilize Cal-Cert to manage all their calibration needs, including nuclear density gauges, soil compaction testing, and asphalt testing equipment.
• - Expertise You Can Trust: Cal-Cert brings with it a wealth of knowledge and experience in nuclear gauge calibration, ensuring that these critical instruments are maintained and function correctly.
• - Accredited Results: Cutting-edge calibration services adhere to ISO/IEC 17025 standards, bolstered by the reputational strength of the Accredited Labs network.
• - Familiar Faces: Customers continue working with the same local technicians they’ve built relationships with over the years.

What Services Does Cal-Cert Offer?

Cal-Cert supports various equipment types found in construction materials testing laboratories. Its expansive offerings include:

• - Nuclear density gauge calibration, leak testing, and repair
• - Calibration for scales and load cells
• - Soil compaction testing equipment calibration (including penetrometers and sand cones)
• - Concrete testing equipment calibration like compression machines and air meters
• - Calibration of ovens, water baths, and centrifuges
• - Pressure transducer, vacuum gauge, and other crucial measurement tools

Tony Lewandowski, Branch Manager at Cal-Cert, expressed enthusiasm about the merger, stating, “Our customers have relied on these five companies for years. With everything now unified under one name, they can efficiently handle all their lab’s calibration needs. Our commitment to quality remains unchanged.”

Joe Moser, CEO of Accredited Labs, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the critical nature of accurate testing in the construction industry for public safety. Cal-Cert has gained traction as a robust name in the calibration market, simplifying the complexity for CMT labs throughout the country.

The Future of Construction Materials Testing

As the U.S. construction materials testing equipment market is predicted to experience significant growth, potentially reaching $3.6 billion by 2026, the demand for reliable, accredited calibration services will only increase. Factors contributing to this expansion include rising infrastructure projects, stringent safety regulations, and a heightened focus on quality testing practices.

Cal-Cert and Accredited Labs are dedicated to ensuring all construction materials testing labs have access to accurate and dependable calibration services. They played a pivotal role supporting AASHTO and state Department of Transportation (DOT) labs nationwide, solidifying their presence in the market.
