Our Civil Construction I students recently toured the Geneva Rock Soils Lab, where they learned firsthand how lab testing plays a critical role in ensuring quality and safety on construction projects.

1. Students learned about lab testing as it relates to the field. Some of the things they learned about were:

2. The Atterberg Limits Test: Used to determine how clay & silt behave with different amounts of water.

3. Gradation Sieve Stack: Determines particle size distribution to ensure proper compaction and drainage.

4. Sieve Screen: Placed into a pan weigh specific particle size samples.

At MTECH, hands-on experiences like these help students gain real insight and confidence as they prepare for careers in the industry.
