About Us

At Coffey Testing, Quality Assurance and Independent Geotechnical Testing is what we do and what we provide to our clients in the most efficient and commercial manner. 

Our Mission

“We work with the best, because only the best want what Coffey Testing can provide…peace of mind.”

We take pride in our work which allows our clients to have comfort knowing they are getting results that have been tested in line with relevant statutory standards by scientific minded people who care about their work and the impact it has on construction projects.

Geotechnical conditions vary considerably and can have a big impact on the structural assets that we build on top. From geotechnical engineers, quarries, concrete producers, residential developers to contractors and constructors, all can face a range of challenges – especially when it comes to existing material conditions and the suitability or otherwise of the materials being used in the construction of their products or projects.

As engineering gets more complicated, the technology we use to test samples must follow. At Coffey Testing, we provide our clients with deep insights into the properties of the materials they’re dealing with. We apply the latest techniques in specialised testing and analysis services, using international best practice and conformance standards to achieve detailed, quality results.
