Applied Pavement Technology's comprehensive pavement evaluations provide insight into how the pavement is performing, what is causing it to deteriorate, and what additional information is needed to determine the most appropriate repair or rehabilitation option.
Applied Pavement Technology is experienced in all methods of pavement condition assessment, including visual inspections using the pavement condition index. The company also owns and operates a Dynatest 8081 heavy falling weight deflectometer (FWD), a nondestructive device used for routine and specialized testing of both highway and airfield pavements.
In addition to the FWD, Applied Pavement Technology also owns and operates a trailer-mounted material sampling device that can be used to obtain core or auger samples of the pavement and subsurface layers. The coring apparatus is applicable for both HMA and PCC surfaced pavements.
Applied Pavement Technology can also perform other methods of testing including boring, materials testing, drop-cone petrometer testing, roughness measurements, ground penetrating radar testing, skid measurements, and other techniques to evaluate pavement condition.
