Bay Area Testing Lab Recommendation

List members:
 
I am starting a new project in San Francisco and need the services
of a "progressive" testing lab in the Bay Area...
 
We all know that testing agencies (like engineers) run the spectrum from
ultra-conservative to "everything's OK" all the time.
 
I would prefer an "out of the box" approach.
 
The initial scope: testing of existing pile foundations.
 
Anyone you can suggest?
 
Regards,
