CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS TESTING AND ENGINEERING SERVICES

QCQA Laboratories, Inc. was established in 2004, as a division of TransTech Systems, Inc. Harry Apkarian, long time entrepreneur of the Capital District, and his son, David Apkarian, saw the vision to establish a top notch materials testing laboratory in upstate New York. The establishment of QCQA Labs works in close conjunction with TransTech Systems' Research and Development team, which allows QCQA Labs to be on the cutting edge of new technological advances in the industry.

Although construction materials testing represents only a small fraction of the total investment in your project, you could otherwise be faced with high, unbudgeted costs for remedial action if these requirements are not properly met. Unanticipated remediation efforts also disrupt project schedules. QCQA Labs offers you experienced professionals who will help avoid or minimize construction oversights and delays. QCQA Labs employs a Professional Engineer to make recommendations based on field and lab test results.

QCQA Labs will work as part of your team to keep your projects on task. Our firm brings wide range experience in materials engineering evaluation, testing and inspection. Our engineers and technicians respond to your needs in the areas of soils, concrete, asphalt and engineering.

This section will give you a snapshot of what our team can do for you. You are invited to contact our offices to discuss your projects and request a quotation. Our laboratory, located in Schenectady, is top notch with the latest, high tech equipment. You are welcome to visit anytime.
