About Element St. Paul
Element St. Paul, formerly Twin City Testing, has a long history as a materials testing laboratory in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota, spanning over 75 years. Originally organized in 1938, our focus was on environmental, construction and product validation services. In 1985, the company joined the Huntington network of labs, and further ownership changes led us to become a part of Å·ÃÀÊìÅ®ÂÒÂ×. Element is a network of over 200 laboratory locations around the world, five of which are in the Minneapolis/Saint Paul metro area. Our strengths are responsiveness to customer needs, quality, problem-solving, the diversity of our test offerings and our networking Å·ÃÀÊìÅ®ÂÒÂ×.
Our laboratory in St. Paul operates a full materials testing laboratory with mechanical testing, metallurgical testing, advanced materials testing, Nadcap certified nondestructive testing (NDT), certified weld inspection, failure analysis and chemistry services. We are among the most trusted providers of construction materials testing services in the US.
In addition, Element St. Paul offers a full product evaluation laboratory that delivers shock and vibration testing, corrosion HALT/HASS, finite element analyses, and professional engineering consulting services for custom product testing for our clients.
Element St. Paul has complete test centers for building products such as windows and doors, anchors and fasteners, as well as foam and mattresses, and a team of civil engineers who provide geotechnical and construction materials testing services all over the US and Canada.
Our services are accredited by A2LA, AASHTO, AMRL CCRL, ICC, and other applicable state and private agencies.
