  WJE's recognized materials scientists provide comprehensive consulting services for the evaluation of construction materials. Our full range of services in petrography, microscopy, analytical chemistry, organic and inorganic chemistry, and physical testing of materials puts our capabilities at the forefront of the profession. The combination of our constructional materials knowledge with our engineering and architectural capabilities uniquely positions WJE to deliver innovative yet sound solutions to your problems. Using state-of-the-art evaluation methods, many of which were pioneered by WJE, our scientists have solved thousands of construction materials problems—answering such questions as, why did it fail? how long will it last? and how do I fix it?

We have experience with a wide range of construction materials, including stone, masonry, metals, and concrete, as well as new and emerging materials. Materials suppliers trust WJE to perform testing for code compliance and to help determine the appropriate applications for their products’ use. And when your needs go beyond the routine, our materials scientists can perform various types of physical testing, including X-ray diffractometry, atomic absorption spectroscopy, and ion chromatography.
