SET is a soil mechanics laboratory testing firm. We are owned and operated by an engineer, paraprofessional engineers and certified technicians. We have a combined engineering and soil testing experience of over 125 years.

SET's primary function is laboratory soils testing for geotechnical engineering consultants, civil and environmental consultants, government agencies, contractors, and private firms. We have done a considerable amount of strength testing (triaxial, dss, etc.) for the mining industry as well as testing for wind and solar sites across the country. The projects we have worked on have involved an extensive use of the SHANSEP method on fine tailings. For all our projects we provide quality geotechnical lab testing in a timely manner.
