Construction Materials Engineering & Testing
Accurate sampling and accurate testing in a quality laboratory are two of the keys to making sure your construction materials meet what the project engineers specify.
Campuses (Healthcare, Corporate, Mixed-Use)
Multi-use campuses—including healthcare, corporate, and mixed-use environments—must operate safely and continuously while supporting public use and dealing with complex, interconnected infrastructure systems. Owners must manage aging assets, limited or inaccurate utility records, and evolving facility demands while minimizing disruption to the public, patients, tenants, and ongoing operations.
What We Do
Kiwa provides independent engineering, inspection and advisory services to support planning, construction, and long-term campus asset management in active, safety-sensitive environments.
We support campus owners and operators with:
- Asset and utility investigations – SUE, geophysics, and as-built documentation to improve visibility into complex underground utility networks and manage conflicts
- Engineering and technical support – Geotechnical, structural, and building systems expertise to support expansion, renovation, and phased construction
- Environmental and regulatory services – Permitting, environmental assessments, and compliance support, including strict regulatory and infection control requirements for healthcare environments
- Inspection and condition assessment – Evaluation of infrastructure and building systems in occupied, high-demand environments
- Program and construction support – Coordination of multi-phase projects with flexible scheduling in active campus settings
- Advanced field technologies – GPR, drones, LiDAR, and digital mapping to improve accuracy while minimizing disruption and risk
Why This Matters
Campus environments amplify risk due to system interdependencies, continuous operations, and stakeholder complexity.
Independent expertise helps:
- Reliable infrastructure data for below-ground and above ground utilities and other anomalies improves construction outcomes and reduces risk
- Reduce utility conflicts and construction risk in environments that often have inaccurate or incomplete records
- Minimize disruption to critical operations and occupied facilities
- Support safe expansion in regulated and safety-critical environments
- Improve capital planning with accurate campus asset data
- Supports digital asset records using GIS, BIM and other platforms to improve asset transparency and management
