Have you noticed an increase in the number of questions relating to modulus based testing for soils? We certainly have. We are now wondering how soon this trend will gather pace in Australia and New Zealand for asphalt. It’s already well underway in Europe and...
One of the key concerns of project managers is safety, including the risk of people getting injured or killed at site. Hence, for temporary working platforms, the need to measure the in-situ bearing capacity to minimise the risk of a critical failure or incident for...
One of the challenges our asphalting contractor clients and their consultants have been struggling with is how to test the gravel base before laying asphalt on top to make sure you have compaction. They have been aware of the problem of non uniform compaction and soft...
One of the methods for measuring dynamic modulus on site and getting repeatable results immediately is using the Light Weight Deflectometer (LWD). By measuring the modulus value, the Light Weight Deflectometer (LWD) provides the direct link between the design...
Changing Face of Compaction & Compaction Control for Road Building – A Global Review Compaction is one of the most important processes in roadway construction. A uniform base and subgrade is a key ingredient in maximising pavement performance and the...
