AASHTO Accreditation Program
Many of Cochran’s clients have the need for third party quality management, testing and inspection services during the construction of their projects. Cochran has a designated staff of professional engineers and qualified technicians who conduct field inspection & testing and lab analysis & testing services to ensure that project specifications are met during the construction phase. Our professional engineers bring years of experience working at and with MoDOT. Our staff have demonstrated success in managing federally funded projects for a variety of municipal and MoDOT clients with our experience and technical expertise to understand the regulations and requirements of each project.

The AASHTO Accreditation Program (AAP) was established in 1988 as a means of formally recognizing the competence of testing laboratories to perform specific tests on construction materials. AAP is a voluntary program that is available to all testing laboratories including government, commercial, university, and research facilities. There are over 1,800 individual laboratories that are currently accredited through AAP, making it the largest accrediting body of construction materials testing laboratories. AAP utilizes laboratory assessment and proficiency sample services provided by the AASHTO Materials Reference Laboratory (AMRL) and the Cement and Concrete Reference Laboratory (CCRL). AMRL provides administrative coordination and technical support for AAP. The program accredits for over 650 AASHTO, ASTM, or state standards.
