Welcome to our new Microsite from Tinius Olsen - dedicated to the subject of testing in the civil engineering and construction field. It coincides with the launch of a new Tinius Olsen Civil Engineering Product range launched in September 2008. Tinius Olsen is a leading specialist manufacturer of materials testing machines, and has been manufacturing, servicing and calibrating testing equipment of the highest quality since 1880. In fact, many of the Tinius Olsen machines that were built in the early part of this century are still in operation. To achieve this record of reliability, you need a quality-built product, proper preventive maintenance and a trained field support staff committed to maximizing your equipment's performance and longevity.

The World of Concrete (WOC) 2010 Exhibition is being held at the Las Vega Convention Center, in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA from the 2nd - 5th February, 2010. We will be exhibiting our range of Compression Testing Machines used to verify the strength of concrete and cement, along with equipment for preparation and testing the strength and performance of asphalt, sand and aggregate samples. Our machines all feature a robust load frames with digital load indicating systems for repeatably accurate test results. Come and visit us at booth N2166.

At a time of increased need and proposed spending on infrastructure projects, especially in the United States, Tinius Olsen has launched a major expansion of its line of materials testers developed specifically for civil engineering applications. According to C. Robert Tait III, President of Tinius Olsen, “We are already well represented at various state departments of transportation nationwide. These new products will give the engineers and technical teams in charge of quality and safety, many additional test system choices.”
The expanded civil engineering product family from Tinius Olsen now includes materials testers and software for evaluating: concrete; asphalt quality control; cements, plaster, and mortar; and sand, aggregate, and fillers. All its products are designed for specific applications and conform to their relevant ASTM, BS, AASHTO and other internationally recognized standards. The newest models include test equipment for classification and strength properties of cement, concrete, and building materials, as well as for petroleum products, asphalt bitumen, tar and paint, surface flexure, and irregularity of roads. |
