Expert Construction Materials Testing & Geotechnical Engineering
Atlantic Testing Laboratories was founded in 1967 by Spencer F. Thew, a Civil Engineer whose vision was to elevate quality standards in construction through rigorous materials testing and geotechnical analysis. Over 55 years, we have grown from a single farmhouse operation to a multi-disciplinary firm with 11 full-service offices across New York, driven by strategic leadership under CEO Marijean Remington. Our expertise spans subsurface investigations, geotechnical engineering, environmental remediation, and nondestructive testing, supporting infrastructure, industrial, and development projects. We maintain AASHTO-accredited laboratories and a fleet of specialized equipment to ensure precise data collection and analysis.Our commitment to innovation, safety, and client-centric solutions has established us as a trusted partner for complex projects requiring technical excellence. With decades of combined experience, our team delivers actionable insights that prioritize project reliability, regulatory compliance, and long-term sustainability. We serve both public and private sectors, offering tailored services from initial design to post-construction evaluation. Our reputation is built on integrity, technical proficiency, and a dedication to advancing industry standards through continuous improvement and strategic growth.

Services
Subsurface Investigations
Our subsurface investigations provide critical data for infrastructure and construction projects. Using advanced drilling, sampling, and testing techniques, we assess soil, rock, and groundwater conditions to inform safe and efficient design. Clients benefit from accurate stratigraphic profiling, foundation analysis, and risk mitigation for complex sites.
Geotechnical Engineering
Geotechnical engineering services evaluate subsurface properties to guide foundation design and earthwork planning. We conduct in-situ testing, laboratory analysis, and slope stability assessments, ensuring structures withstand environmental and load demands. Our expertise supports dams, bridges, and commercial developments with tailored geotechnical solutions.
Environmental Remediation
Environmental remediation addresses contaminated sites through soil and water sampling, risk assessment, and cleanup strategies. We specialize in hazardous material handling, groundwater monitoring, and compliance with regulatory standards. Clients receive actionable plans to restore sites for safe reuse while minimizing ecological impact.
Nondestructive Testing
Nondestructive testing evaluates structural integrity without compromising materials. Techniques like ultrasonic testing and ground-penetrating radar identify flaws in concrete, steel, and welds. This ensures safety and compliance for bridges, buildings, and industrial facilities while reducing repair costs and downtime.
Construction Materials Testing
Construction materials testing verifies the quality of concrete, asphalt, soil, and masonry. Our AASHTO-accredited labs perform compression, density, and durability tests to meet project specifications. Clients gain confidence in material performance, ensuring compliance with codes and long-term structural integrity.
