Technological Advancements in Land Surveying
Land surveying has experienced a revolutionary advancement in technology, especially when one considers that this ancient practice has evolved from 1400 B.C. when the Egyptians began taxing land plots, to the unmanned aircraft systems of today.
Premier Bone and Joint Surgery Center
Coffey performed all the materials testing for Premier Bone & Joint Center’s (PB&J) new surgical and rehabilitation facility. Services included were soil compaction, concrete testing, steel reinforcement inspection and critical bolted and welded connections.
The Importance of Materials Testing
Materials testing is a regulatory requirement for most massive projects. Complications from not building with the right material could cause financial setbacks, project complications, and in some cases, more serious consequences like infrastructure malfunction or collapse.
Franklin Street in Fort Collins
