Structural Laboratory
Service Overview
In modern construction, to avoid catastrophic events, you must know a product’s limitations. Smith Emery Laboratories’ Structural Lab tests predict, verify and validate a product’s structural durability. We determine actual, real-world system loading conditions at any phase of your load testing program.
Smith-Emery performs static and dynamic testing of structural systems and components, data acquisition, and calibration verification in various measuring devices. We offer code consulting to companies that are required by the Evaluation Service Agency to test new products before they go to market.
