Activities

MTS is able to provide multidisciplinary testing services that meet or exceed international standards due to the combination of high quality testing equipment and the expertise of our personnel. 

Areas of activity include laboratory testing for the static and dynamic design of foundations and the evaluation of geotechnical and geological aspects for buildings, bridges, offshore and harbor structures.

The cyclic/dynamic equipment also permits the dynamic characterization of soils, as required for conducting site response analysis, determining liquefaction potential and soil structure. Static and dynamic characterization of new building construction sites as required by building codes can be facilitated through site-specific testing programs.
