Laboratories

WSP laboratories have a proud history dating back more than 65 years. Over that time we have provided experimental research and testing that assisted the design and construction of major national infrastructure projects, such as hydroelectric power schemes, state highways, airports, railways and marine ports.

Our network of eleven IANZ (International Accreditation of New Zealand) laboratories provide accredited test reports, specialist independent consulting services, materials testing and analysis for engineering construction materials using a multi-disciplinary team of highly trained technicians and technical specialists.

Our management and operating procedures are externally audited and accredited to both the International Quality Management System ISO 9001 and General requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories NZS/ ISO/IEC 17025

Our laboratories hold the widest range of mechanical testing accreditation in New Zealand having been registered since February 1975 under IANZ (formally TELARC) for the classes of test.

(NATA is the Australian equivalent of the New Zealand IANZ accreditation system).

Our capability and experience in laboratories covers:

Aggregates
Bitumen
Concrete
Construction Monitoring
Geotechnical Investigations
Pavement Investigations
Road Roughness Measurements
Soils and Geomechanics Testing
Cone Penetration Testing
Offshore Testing

The accredited tests will vary between individual laboratories but may include all or portions of the services above.
