FWD testing

See what is beneath the surface.

Measure pavement deflection, calculate layer moduli and predict remaining structural life for roads, highways and airports. Surface condition tells you what you see; FWD testing tells you what's beneath.

Why FWD testing

Avoid over-design and premature reconstruction.

Structural data lets you make smarter investment decisions, choose rehabilitation that matches the real capacity of each section, and reduce lifecycle cost.

Applications

Roads, runways and concrete joints.

Arterials & highways

Evaluate structural adequacy and prioritize rehabilitation across networks.

Airport runways

ACN-PCN analysis: Aircraft and Pavement Classification Numbers.

Concrete joint LTE

Quantify load transfer efficiency for design, QC/QA and rehab.

Allowable load & remaining life

Estimate allowable loads and predict remaining structural life.

Our process

From the load pulse to the layer moduli.

01

Rapid field collection

Testing at calibrated load levels with multi-sensor deflection capture.

02

Deflection basin analysis

Quality-check and analyze basins for data reliability.

03

Backcalculation

Elastic moduli of each layer with proven algorithms.

04

Integration with SAMS

Outputs feed pavement management workflows and budgets.

Reliable data · Defensible decisions

Accurate, repeatable, traceable.

  • Accurate: high-precision load generators, calibrated
  • Traceable: standards-compliant testing with a QC/QA workflow
  • Decision-ready: engineering reports formatted for action
