Heavy Weight Deflectometer (HWD)
The Heavy Weight Deflectometer (HWD) is a reliable and efficient solution for pavement evaluation. This proven technology offers accurate, non-destructive assessment of a pavement’s structural capacity and integrity.
Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD)
Deflectometers are at the cutting edge of pavement evaluation technology, allowing us to get fast and accurate results that detail a pavement’s true quality and structural capacity without relying on visual assessments or destructive techniques.
Core Drilling & Sampling Equipment
Used primarily for construction inspection and materials testing, coring is the most accurate, and oftentimes only, way to verify the internal structure and layer depth of a pavement and gather samples for lab testing.
Tablet-based Rating System
Our proprietary, tablet-based rating software allows manual pavement distress surveys to be completed faster and more accurately than ever before.
