Established in 2001, Construction Site Specialties started out providing local residential contractors with demolition, debris removal and earthwork services. As the surrounding communities began quickly growing, CSS soon expanded into the commercial market throughout the Acadiana area. In 2012, CSS’s services included erosion control, site utilities, culverts, and storm drainage. In 2016, cast in place concrete was added to facilitate the needs of our partners.
This division specializes in cast in
place concrete foundations and site paving. Construction Site Specialties
has grown from a two-person business
to seventy people and is still growing
and hiring today. Our main niche is building foundations for apartment complexes and subdivisions. Our scope also includes hotels, restaurants, schools, hospitals, municipal buildings, and churches. Our team has also designed and developed several subdivisions of our own. The whole groundwork of your project can be maintained and completed by our team of professionals, from site clearing, to dirt hauling, asphalt paving and concrete work, site utilities, lime stabilization, demolition, erosion control and culverts. As a self-sufficient company, we offer complete site packages that fit exactly what your project requires.

Our Founder, Ed Morrison, was an equipment manager for a large instrumentation and electrical contractor in Louisiana. While working there, he saw the importance of delivering quality certified test equipment to a jobsite and how detrimental it could be
to the success or failure of the job. In 1982, he founded JM
Test Systems when he was unable to find vendors to live up to his standards. JM Test Systems, Inc. was founded to provide quality and expedient service to industries that need repair and traceable calibration of test and measurement equipment. The company has grown from a 2 person lab to our current status of over 500 plus employees, and 10 laboratories. Our quality
is second to none, we are A2LA accredited to ISO 17025. Along with our ISO 17025 accreditation, we comply with ANSI/NCSL Z-540-1 and ISO-10012. We are members of the professional groups: NCSL International, ASQ, and GIDEP.
Our corporate office is located in Baton Rouge, LA along with our Baton Rouge Calibration Laboratory. At this location we specialize in temperature, dimensional, electrical, electronic, gas detectors, moisture analyzers, torque, analytical, and pressure equipment. This facility also specializes in the repair and certification of process instrumentation. In Baton Rouge we also have our electrical safety testing facility, which specializes in electrical personal protective equipment (PPE). Our NAIL for PET accredited testing lab performs required cleaning and testing on all electrical safety equipment / personal protective equipment to ASTM/ANSI specifications.
Our Alexandria, LA facility located within the England Air Park was once the U.S. Air Force England AFB calibration laboratory. It primarily services the communications industry, DoD contractors in aircraft and shipbuilding industries and serves as a general-purpose calibration facility for North LA, NE TX, and AR.

Beside our fixed location we also have mobile calibration labs that can go to the client’s location and perform calibrations
and certifications, with the same precision as any of our fixed laboratories. In recent years, we have expanded our services
to include selling test equipment, as well as renting test equipment. We also design and manufacture custom built test benches to your specifications and manufacture our own line of pressure generation equipment.
