MASON CONTRACTOR
(Larsen & Son) Mortar samples are prepared in job site conditions. After the sample is complete, it is removed from the brick and sent to a testing lab.
Grout Testing
Grout Testing is conducted in much the same fashion as mortar testing. In the above photo (left), a cube is made out of concrete blocks and grout is placed to form the prism to be tested. The mortar samples are then placed in individual containers, labeled and made ready for delivery to a testing lab (right photo).
