Cutting-Edge Analytical and Materials Testing Facilities

One of the most significant aspects of our recent growth is the expansion of our Fresno Analytical Lab (FAL). Our newly upgraded lab facilities feature cutting-edge technology that enables faster results with improved sensitivity, allowing us to meet the growing demand for advanced environmental testing, including the detection of complex contaminants like PFAS.

In addition, our materials testing labs on the construction side have been upgraded with innovative equipment, ensuring that we can provide top-tier services for structural integrity and compliance. These labs, offer high precision and reliability to ensure that projects meet the required standards of safety and durability.

Honoring Our Clients and Partnerships

Our remarkable growth would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our clients. Whether you’ve been with us since our original Fresno office opened or recently partnered with us through our Sacramento location, your trust and collaboration have been instrumental in helping BSK grow into the company it is today.

We honor each partnership, knowing that our success reflects the projects we’ve completed and the relationships we’ve built along the way. Your continued support has enabled us to expand, innovate, and enhance our offerings to better meet your needs.

A Growing Network of Offices Across the West Coast

BSK Associates’ growth has allowed us to establish a presence throughout the West Coast, strategically locating our offices to serve key markets. We now operate out of Fresno (our corporate headquarters and first office), Bakersfield, Livermore, Sacramento, San Bernardino, Tracy, San Jose, and Vancouver. Each office is equipped to meet the unique needs of clients in every region.

Our growth is a direct testament to our commitment to proactivity, one of BSK’s core values. We value having the foresight and vision to anticipate conditions and capitalize on opportunities—always staying ahead of the curve and taking decisive action. Where others see issues, we see solutions.

This proactive mindset has allowed us to identify emerging client needs and industry trends, from expanding our specialized offerings like PFAS testing and enhanced materials testing capabilities like Superpave. Our ability to anticipate changes and act quickly has been key to our growth, ensuring that we’re always positioned to meet the demands of our clients.

Looking Toward the Future

The journey doesn’t stop here. With the opening of our Bakersfield office and further enhancements to our analytical laboratories and materials testing labs, we’re well positioned to continue our growth trajectory. From analytical to geoprofessional services and beyond, we are committed to providing innovative solutions that deliver exceptional value to our clients.

As we expand, we remain dedicated to maintaining the high standards of service that have earned us the trust of our clients. Our growth reflects our commitment to excellence, innovation, and client satisfaction, and we’re excited about what the future holds.

Meet the Staff: Adam Trevarrow, Organizational Development Specialist: Adam hails from Fresno, spending most of his time growing up in the vibrant Tower District. He’s been a part of the BSK family for an impressive 16 years, starting as an Analyst in 2008 and now serving as our full-time Organizational Development Specialist. Adam’s journey through various roles has given him deep insights into almost every aspect of our lab’s operations. He loves connecting with colleagues, learning about the company, and is always ready for new challenges.

Interviewer: Hi Adam! Can you tell me a little about where you are from. Where is your hometown and where did you go to school?

Adam: I was born and raised in Fresno, with the majority of my time spent in the Tower District. I graduated from San Joaquin Memorial High School and then earned my Liberal Studies degree from Fresno State in 2007.

Interviewer: How long have you worked for BSK and what do you do for the organization?

Adam: I have been with BSK for 16 years, starting as an Analyst in 2008. In 2014, I transitioned to a Project Coordinator role, followed by a promotion to Project Manager in 2015. Since 2022, I have been serving as a full-time Organizational Development Specialist. My journey has provided me with valuable insight into nearly every phase of the lab’s operations.

Interviewer: What do you enjoy most about your job?

Adam: I value the relationships I am able to build with a wide range of colleagues. Through my involvement in engagement surveys, assisting with open enrollment, and providing support for Deltek Talent, I have the opportunity to connect with so many funny and interesting coworkers. I also appreciate the ongoing learning about our company and look forward to expanding my knowledge of what BSK has to offer our clients.

Interviewer: Can you tell us your favorite on the job story?

Adam: Serving as the Project Manager for the Paradise fire project has been the highlight of my career at BSK. This project was not only a significant success for the company but also played a crucial role in initiating the cleanup and rebuilding efforts for many affected by the fires. While it required a lot of time and effort, the experience was immensely rewarding, and it was great to collaborate with and receive support from numerous individuals.

Interviewer: Thank you so much for answering all these questions today. Can we leave off by you relaying some fun facts about yourself?

Adam: Once fall rolls around all my attention goes to college and pro football. I run a fantasy football league with some folks at BSK that leads to a lot of fun competition. When it’s not football season, I spend my time playing Dungeons and Dragons and Warhammer 40K. I also love to run and take care of two very spoiled cats named Andy and April.

Meet the Staff: Maylene Dosano, Laboratory Technician II

Meet the Staff: Maylene Dosano, Laboratory Technician II:  Meet Maylene, a dynamic member of the BSK Associates team, who brings her unique blend of cultural background and professional experience to every aspect of her work. Born and raised in Manila, Philippines, Maylene moved to the United States in 2012, where she navigated the challenges of adapting to a new country while excelling in her education. Maylene’s story is a testament to her resilience, adaptability, and passion for making a positive impact, both within her team and in the broader community.
Interviewer: Hi Maylene! Can you tell me a little about where you are from. Where is your hometown and where did you go to school?
Maylene: Yes. I was born in Manila, Philippines. Grew up with the loud noise, traffic, and busy city life. I was raised there and lived there for 17 years alongside my two siblings. My family and I moved to the United States back in 2012 in hopes for a better life and future for all of us. It was a rollercoaster of feelings being in a foreign country, but it made me the person I am today. Since my family moved a lot, I have been to 5 different elementary schools and 3 high schools all of which allowed me to meet so many great people. I finished college at Sacramento City College with an Associate Degree in Mathematics and Engineering (CE) during Covid.
Interviewer: How long have you worked for BSK and what do you do for the organization?
Maylene: I started with BSK in September 2021. I took a shot in applying for a Field Technician position because it was getting difficult to find a job during pandemic. Rather than being picky, I let myself become a sponge and absorb all sorts of information and skills (old and new) and apply it as an opportunity for my professional development. I got assigned to multiple job sites to do client’s routine sampling, special sampling events, and/or emergency samples.  After a year or so of great experience, I got promoted to be in the client services department in which I am responsible for building and maintaining positive relationships between BSK and its clients. Part of my duties also includes managing client inquires and sample log in, while also assisting with scheduling sampling events, bottle orders, and promptly directing customer complaints or questions to relevant departments.
Interviewer: What do you enjoy most about your job?
Maylene: What I enjoy the most about my job is working with our amazing team that are always open to collaborating to form better strategies to make things go smoothly for our satellite labs. I love the feeling of knowing that our company is making an impact in our community whether it be a small- or large-scale project. As a CSR (Client Services representative), I love the direct interactions with our clients and building a good rapport with them to establish trust and good business relationships. Lastly, being a part of something that is constantly working with the community, directly and indirectly, and contributing to making our clients happy by helping them complete their projects.
Interviewer: Can you tell us your favorite on the job story?
Maylene: One of my favorites on the job stories actually is something that happens almost every day. As a satellite location we experience a late afternoon rush when all of our field staff come back into the office from the field. This rush is my favorite because that is when I see everyone on our team work together to get the all the samples logged in, labeled, and ready for the lab. Everyone is actively helping each other out and willing to come together to make the day end smoothly. Another thing is when clients go out of their way to show appreciation for the services we provide, it always makes you feel all warm and fuzzy.
Interviewer: Thank you so much for answering all these questions today. Can we leave off by you relaying some fun facts about yourself?
Maylene: Fun fact about myself is that I was a part of a competitive hip-hop dance team for 4 years in college which got me to travel and compete in different places. It was a fun experience, but my back and my body are not cooperating anymore as I age haha! I love to cook any type of dishes (Filipino, Korean, Chinese, Italian, etc.). Lastly, my family and I love to try out different escape rooms in each State that we travel too.
