Asphalt Pavement Non Destructive Testing (NDT)

.

Asphalt Pavement Condition Assessment

We specialise in asphalt pavement condition assessment to establish pavement deterioration and current conditions. The pavements we assess include roads, airport runways, aprons & taxiways and port hardstands. We also specialise in bridge decks. Typically we use Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and provide easy to read reports summarising all key findings and anomalies.

During Construction

You need to ensure asphalt pavement is laid to specification. Our methods help you do this non destructively and ensure:

  • compaction is uniform and sufficient
  • asphalt thickness is known and the depth is uniform.
  • after laying your Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) pavement, you know as soon as you can open the road again to traffic.

Intelligent Compaction

  • Roller mounted real-time compaction monitoring for soils and asphalt layers
  • Measures compaction uniformity
  • Links pavement design (modulus), roller compaction (stiffness / modulus indication) and testing (field and laboratory

Zorn AT 3000 Asphalt Stiffness Test

  • Measure the stiffness of freshly paved Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) layers following roller compaction
  • Make informed decision on when to re-opened the road to traffic

MIT-SCAN-T3 Asphalt Thickness Test

  • Non-destructive
  • Asphalt thickness or asphalt depth for pavements, layer by layer
  • Meets EN 12697-36:2003 (Hot Mix Asphalt – HMA) standard
