Innovations
In response to customer needs, Architectural Testing continues to expand the role of our
Professional Engineering services in ways our customers find beneficial. For
example in fenestration testing, we devised a non-standard procedure to help
one customer evaluate a new anchor designed to withstand a 400-pound load. As a
customer requested service, we helped the timber industry establish the design
requirements for a new timber splice, then provided engineer-supervised testing
to ensure the product met the specifications. For any new product, our
engineering insights can provide the “road map” you need to achieve product
certification.
