Accreditations/Validations
United States Army Corps of Engineers (USCOE) Validation
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Research and Development Center's Materials Testing Center (MTC) inspects GTX’s
laboratories once every two years
for compliance with Engineer
Regulations 1110-1-8100 (Laboratory
Investigations and Testing) and
1110-1-261 (Quality Assurance of
Laboratory Testing Procedures)
American Association of State
Highway and Transportation Officials
(AASHTO) Accreditation
 The
AASHTO Accreditation Program (AAP)
recognizes the competency of
GeoTesting Express’ laboratories in
construction materials testing. The
AAP utilizes laboratory assessment
(on-site audits) and proficiency
sample services provided by the
AASHTO Materials Reference
Laboratory (AMRL) and the Cement and
Concrete Reference Laboratory (CCRL)
for accreditation. GTX’s
laboratories are audited once every
two years and participate in the
proficiency testing program twice
per year to ensure compliance with
appropriate quality and procedural
requirements.
Geosynthetics Accreditation
Institute – Laboratory Accreditation
Program (GAI-LAP)
 The
GAI-LAP program ensures that GTX is
capable of properly rendering the
tests that we are contracted to
perform. GTX’s equipment,
documentation and testing protocols
are evaluated for adherence to
standardized test methods. Our lab
is audited once every five years and
is enrolled in a yearly proficiency
test program to ensure compliance
with requirements.
