Element’s Charlotte lab makes tensile specimens from turbine blade roots

Element’s Charlotte lab makes tensile specimens from turbine blade roots

Element Materials Technology’s Charlotte lab wire-EDMs one-eighth-inch cylinders from the root of a turbine blade and low-stress grinds them into tensile specimens—work value stream manager Daniel Steele says he’s not aware other labs do at this size. The lab, which invested $3.2 million in 2019 according to Aerospace Manufacturing and Design, is adding creep and stress rupture frames under a lease signed in January.

  • 01The extraction know-how has a paper trail: Aerospace Manufacturing and Design reported in March 2019 that Element’s $3.2 million Charlotte investment included EDM plunge machines—and that Charlotte was the first Element lab to install them for extracting cylindrical specimen blanks.
  • 02Deloitte's November 2025 outlook put manufacturing construction spending down 7% year over year by July 2025, so a lab adding floor space and creep frames is growing inside one of the few pockets Deloitte flagged for expansion.

  • 01Upward repricing of projects held three to six months rose from 17% of survey respondents in June to 37% in September, while downward repricing fell from 38% to 14%.

CMHA’s 2026 report estimates paver and wall production

CMHA's 2026 Hardscape Production Report combines confidential survey data from 41 manufacturers with broader industry estimates to track segmental concrete pavement and retaining wall production in the US and Canada.

  • 02NALP forecasts mild to moderate 2026 growth with regional variation, as inflation pressures consumers and landscapers struggle to hire qualified crews and maintain margins.
  • 03Manufacturers expect future product innovation around sustainability, stormwater management, design flexibility, and installation efficiency.
