          Christian Testing Laboratories, Inc., (CTL) was established in 1951 by Herbert M. Christian, and Incorporated in 1966.  On February 1, 1998 Christian, Carmichael & Associates, Inc. (CCI established in 1988), merged with CTL, producing an organization with an associate staff (professional and technical) having over 250 cumulative years experience in the geo-science/geotechnical industry.  Our current staff size is 36 and our current work load versus staff and equipment availability are such that we can provide excellent response to your request for services.

 

          CTL established a presence in South Alabama with the creation of a branch office in Robertsdale, Alabama in 1998.  The branch operation is managed by a technical manager with 29 years experience working in the construction industry. The branch operation has a materials laboratory to facilitate timely generation of test results on all South Alabama projects. The office has a project geotechnical engineer to manage all of the branch's engineering and testing projects.

 

          CTL supplies geotechnical services to a variety of clients.  CTL has worked with private owners, architects, engineers, contractors and public owners (including municipal, county, state and federal levels).  Services include subsurface investigations, geotechnical reports, foundation and pavement recommendations, site earthwork construction monitoring/testing, foundation construction monitoring/testing, pavement construction and monitoring/testing, concrete and asphalt mix design, quality control services and quality assurance services.

 

          CTL has provided its services on numerous types of projects.  Project types include roadways, bridges, religious institutions, university projects, K-12 school projects, heavy industry/manufacturing facility projects, infrastructure projects, residential projects, commercial projects, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers sponsored projects and The State of Alabama sponsored projects.  CTL is currently working under a consultant's contract with the Alabama Department of Transportation, the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and the Alabama Department of Archives and History.

 

          CTL has supplied geotechnical and environmental drilling for over 40 years.  These services include well installation, sampling, well development, and laboratory soil/rock testing services on 200 to 300 different environmental projects per year.  Our field crews use modern, up-to-date equipment and training and have successfully completed several hundred thousand linear feet of soil/rock borings, sampling and wells ranging from 1" to 8" in diameter including Type III 8" diameter outer cased wells.  Our field personnel work and operate under a health and safety program and have been certified in accordance with OSHA 29 CFR1910.20 which includes 40 hour hazardous worker training and annual 8 hour updates.  Also, we have an on premises warehouse stocked with most of our well materials and we utilize ASTM Schedule 40 PVC pipe in the majority of our well construction.  Our drilling fleet includes a Simco Earthprobe 200, a CME 850 ATV drill rig, and a CME 75 drill rig.

 

          CTL has modern equipped physical laboratory operated by qualified personnel who can supply a broad range of laboratory soil, concrete, asphalt and masonry testing services such as mix design, aggregate analysis, asphalt testing, concrete testing, soil/rock permeability, grain size/hydrometer, Atterberg limits, density, CBR, triaxial shear, swell, and consolidation testing.

 

          CTL can supply insurance certificates, hazardous workers training certificates, unit costs, not-to-exceed budgets, and/or lump sum approaches to the costs associated with its services for specific projects following your request. Also, we can provide general liability insurance of up to $4,000,000 and professional liability insurance up to $2,000,000 upon request.  If after reviewing this website you have any questions, please contact our office.  Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to hearing from you.
