Many of these projects require specific technical specifications for materials used during construction to include, but not be limited to, soil analysis, cement and asphalt density, material mixtures, material breakdown, etc.  This testing requires samples and tests to be run in the field, as well as laboratory testing.  It takes specialized indoor and outdoor equipment to do the necessary geotechnical testing.
