S&T Project 21079 Final Report: Implementation of a Laboratory Information Management System for Reclamation Infrastructure

Published by Bureau of Reclamation | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: April 18, 2026 at 01:15 AM | Dataset Last Updated: March 26, 2024 at 10:34 AM
The concrete and geotechnical laboratories at the Technical Service Center (TSC) have acquired a new Lab Information Management System (LIMS) to aid in tracking samples and documenting test results. QESTLab by SpectraQEST, is used to log concrete cylinders and cores, slurry, rock, masonry, and soil samples, create datasheets, analyze raw testing data, track testing due dates, store testing results, and produce reports for clients. Personnel from Reclamation’s regional laboratories have expressed interest in implementing QESTLab to better manage their respective labs. The TSC can assist with implementation to ensure continuity throughout Reclamation. This robust database will replace several paper-based sample and test tracking methods which will ensure quality and security of all data. There are many options for customization to fit Reclamation’s needs which are summarized in this report. In addition to implementing for all future laboratory testing and field testing during construction, historical core data or construction QA/QC data could be archived.
