Who We Work For
Delivering Innovations to the Concrete Construction Industry
In 1998, Twining developed and introduced to the construction industry a nation-first mobile laboratory. These autonomous testing units allowed for validation of the strength of Rapid Strength Concrete (RSC) on-site before opening transportation corridors to traffic and became a turning point in expanding the practice of fast-track rehabilitation of pavements and bridges. The results of our laboratory and field studies are widely published and presented nationally and internationally.
Our precast concrete laboratories are equipped with pan and drum mixers, steam curing chambers, vibration tables, and internal vibrators to simulate production processes used at precast concrete plants. We provide technical assistance to precast concrete manufacturers with fine-tuning their production processes, development and preconstruction evaluation of concrete mixtures, and production quality control and testing.
We were the first laboratory on the West Coast to set capabilities of testing steel fiber-reinforced concrete and shotcrete. Today, steel fiber-reinforced shotcrete is often used for soil support behind boring machines. Steel fiber reinforced concrete is also widely utilized for the production of precast segments for the construction of multi-purpose tunnels.
