Pavement Testing


Applied Pavement Technology owns and operates a heavy-weight model falling weight deflectometer (FWD), which is a specialized pavement testing device that allows the rapid, accurate, and nondestructive characterization of the structural condition of all types of pavements. The FWD is able to simulate loadings ranging from automobile traffic on highways to the heaviest aircraft on large commercial airport runways. FWD testing facilitates the structural evaluation of multiple test locations in a short period of time without disturbing the pavement structure. Through the use of FWD testing, and other forms of pavement testing, Applied Pavement Technology is able to customize pavement designs to match your local conditions and traffic levels.
