Concrete Testing Services in Midland, TX, for Field Sampling and Cylinder Breaks
When the inspector asks for breaks, the schedule is waiting on certified results. Magrym provides concrete testing services in Midland, TX, for contractors, from field sampling and fresh concrete tests to cylinder breaks, with certified reports prepared for the inspector.
Concrete Strength Testing: Certified Breaks, When the Job Needs Them
Concrete strength testing is the record that shows the concrete you placed meets the strength the design called for. It is field sampling at the pour, controlled curing, and compressive strength breaks at the required ages, documented in a certified report. The inspector requires it, the structural engineer uses it, and the project cannot close out without it.
The pain is never the test itself. It is the wait. A break that comes back late is ready for the inspection. A result that arrives without the right certification gets rejected and has to be redone. Magrym runs an AASHTO accredited lab in Midland, so your samples are tested to the standard method and the certified report lands when your schedule needs it.
We sample in the field, cure and break in our own lab, and deliver reports formatted for the submittal your project requires. You talk directly to the lab, not a call center, and a failing break is flagged the moment we see it so your team can act before it becomes a bigger problem.
How We Test Concrete Strength on Site and in the Lab
We cover the full concrete testing scope your project needs, in the field and in the lab, all to AASHTO accredited procedures.
Compressive Strength Breaks
We cast, cure, and break test cylinders at the required ages, running a concrete compression test that documents whether the concrete reached the design strength the structural engineer specified.
- Cylinder breaks at design ages
- ASTM C39 test method
- Strength reported vs design
Fresh Concrete Field Tests
At the pour, our technicians test concrete strength on site, along with slump, air content, temperature, and unit weight, the fresh-concrete properties that tell you the mix is right before it goes in the form.
- Slump and slump flow
- Air content and unit weight
- Concrete temperature
Field Sampling and Curing
Our technicians sample the concrete at the point of placement and handle initial curing to standard, so the cylinders represent what actually went into your structure.
- Sampling at point of placement
- Standard initial curing
- Proper cylinder transport
Concrete Coring
When in-place strength needs to be confirmed on existing or hardened concrete, we core and test the specimens to document the actual strength of the structure.
- Core extraction and testing
- In-place strength verification
- ASTM C42 procedures
Mix Design Review
We review and verify concrete mix designs against the project specification so the mix on the truck is the mix the engineer approved.
- Mix design verification
- Specification compliance
- Trial batch support
Certified Reporting
Every result is delivered in a certified report formatted for your submittal, with failing results flagged immediately so nothing waits on a surprise.
- AASHTO accredited results
- Submittal-ready format
- Failures flagged immediately
Who We Test Concrete For
Anyone placing structural concrete needs certified test results to pass inspection and close out the work.
General Contractors
GCs need breaks and field tests on schedule so inspections have the records they need and the next phase can start. We sample at the pour and turn certified results around.
Commercial and Residential
Building projects of every size need concrete strength documented for the structural inspection. We provide the certified testing that documents the work.
Transportation and Roadway
Paving, structures, and roadway concrete carry strict acceptance criteria. Our AASHTO accredited lab provides results that meet the standards these projects require.
Energy and Industrial
Foundations, pads, and structures across the Permian Basin need concrete strength verified. We know this work and deliver the certified breaks it needs.

From Concrete Compression Test to Certified Report
A clear path, built to keep the testing ahead of your inspections.
Scope and Schedule
We confirm the mix, the test ages, and the submittal standard, and coordinate with your pour schedule so a technician is there when the concrete arrives. Fixed-fee proposal up front.
Field Sampling
At the pour our technician runs the fresh-concrete tests and casts the cylinders, sampling at the point of placement and starting curing to standard.
Lab Testing
We cure and break the cylinders at the required ages in our AASHTO accredited lab, and check every result against the design strength.
Certified Report
You receive a certified report formatted for your submittal. If a break comes in low, we flag it immediately so your team can respond before it stalls the project.
Frequently Asked Questions
Concrete testing verifies that placed concrete meets the strength and properties the design requires. It includes fresh-concrete field tests at the pour, such as slump and air content, and compressive strength breaks on cylinders cured and tested in a lab. The results are documented in a certified report used for inspection and project closeout.
Cylinders are broken at set ages defined by the specification, most commonly 7 and 28 days, with the 28-day break being the standard acceptance age for a concrete cylinder compression test. We deliver the certified report promptly after each break. Call Magrym at (432) 684-5548 with your pour schedule and we will have a technician there and the results turned around on time.
Yes. Magrym operates a certified concrete testing laboratory in Midland, TX, accredited to AASHTO standards. That accreditation means our procedures, equipment, and quality systems meet the national standards required for state, municipal, and federal project submittals, so the certified results are prepared for inspectors and reviewers.
A slump test is a field check at the pour that measures the workability and consistency of the mix before it is placed. Cylinder breaks are a lab test that measures the hardened compressive strength at a set age. Slump shows whether the mix is right going in, and the breaks show whether it reached the required strength after it cured.
We flag a low break to your team immediately rather than letting it surface later. Depending on the situation, the next step may be additional breaks, a review of the field and curing records, or coring the in-place concrete to confirm actual strength. We handle the follow-up testing and document it so the issue can be resolved on the record.
Yes. Magrym provides materials testing, land surveying, and civil engineering under one roof. The same firm can run the concrete and soil testing, provide the survey and staking, and support the engineering, which keeps the project coordinated and the data consistent without juggling separate vendors.
