Our staff specializes in petrography and chemical analysis of concrete, mortar, building stone and associated materials. We also perform a wide variety of specialty tests focused on mechanical and hygrothermal properties, and durability assessment.

Building envelope studies
Historic preservation work
Existing condition surveys
Failure analysis
Hygrothermal assessments

Highbridge is perhaps best known for our expertise in historical mortars. Our analysis identifies original materials, estimates proportions, and assesses performance characteristics.

Laboratory testing can measure performance characteristics and durability of existing stone or new production material.

Standardized and custom tests to evaluate the performance of stone, concrete, cast stone, brick, and more.

Petrographers use microscopy to understand concrete performance, deterioration, and durability.

Tailor-made testing programs to support on-site masonry investigations.

Hosting students and professional alike to help demystify materials science.
