Concrete Services
   

KAM Solutions is currently the only AAP accredited laboratory for concrete and aggregate testing in Illinois outside the Chicago area.  Additionally, KAM Solutions is certified by the Army Corps of Engineers and the Illinois Dept. of Transportation.  Our technicians are well trained and very experienced.  We routinely provide Quality Control testing on complex pours and our personnel are adept at adjusting the mix at the job-site to maintain compliance with project specifications, and to keep the project moving in a productive direction.   

Our staff works closely with many concrete producers to insure the aggregates used and the concrete produced are of the highest quality.   We take great pride in our ability to evaluate the data generated by thousands of hours of testing concrete to adjust mixing and batching procedures when problems are encountered.
