Quality Control and Assurance
Landmark can provide full Quality Control and Assurance program implementation, administration and execution for your civil, pipeline or industrial construction project.
Project Owners rely heavily on experienced contractors to provide the product they are expecting. Our team is experienced in developing and implementing proper procedures and documentation to accompany our clients' high quality work. Working collaboratively with our clients' construction team we are able to ensure that their work has been properly recorded to meet requirements of the project and ensure owner satisfaction.
​
We have developed programs including company manuals, project execution plans, inspection test plans and task procedures which guarantees that quality is never in question. During development we ensure that the vision of the client aligns with the aspects of the programs to meet all quality aspects.
​
Inspections and documentation are key to guaranteeing that each step of construction is verified and recorded to meet the specifications of the project. Early planning ensures that hold points, inspections, material tests and surveys are completed and attended as required to avoid any unnecessary rework or costly hold-ups.

Survey
Landmark staff have extensive understanding of engineered drawings and specifications. We use our skills and large inventory of survey equipment to complete any survey task required for a project.
Our team is trained in survey theories and experienced in construction situations to provide the most efficient solution using the most appropriate survey gear to provide the best results. We are equipped to provide the ideal solution to all survey challenges.
​
To compliment our survey team, we are furnished to provide our survey data in a variety of formats to suit the project needs. Many large scale projects have large quantities of data which can become overwhelming. We ensure that our data is stored in an appropriate filing system for simplicity in searching of data. We can provide raw data, AutoCAD, Civil3D and as-built drawings as required.

Material Testing
Landmark is registered with a variety of organizations to provide the highest quality testing. Working with governing bodies such as CCIL, ACI, CNSC and PEO. We are constantly continuing education to provide current and relevant testing procedures. Our field technicians hold current certifications with CCIL, ACI, CNSC and PEO.
​
Our team is trained in procedures for taking field samples of soils, aggregates and concrete according to ASTM. ​We are also able to perform field density and moisture readings with our portable nuclear gauges.
​
In addition to our field testing abilities, we operate a Type C and D CCIL certified mobile lab which performs testing according to ASTM and LS specifications. The lab is equipped to provide data required for the project. For high volume testing the lab is able to be moved to site, or for smaller projects, the samples can be sent to the lab in its current location.
