Our FWD’s have once again passed the National Highways Dynamic Plate Test device accreditation trial held at the MIRA Proving Ground in Nuneaton.
We continue to support our clients with Dynamic Plate Testing Services across the country and internationally with our fleet of:
• 3 x Heavy Weight Deflectometers – applying a test load in the range of 30 – 240kN
• 1 x Falling Weight Deflectometer – applying a test load in the range of 30 – 120kN
• 1 x Fast Falling Weight Deflectometer – the FastFWD is an accelerated version of the traditional FWD, designed to apply loads up to 5x quicker per drop cycle, enabling real-time simulation of long-term traffic affects. XAIS-PTS operate the only one of these in the UK!
FWD & HWD benefits and applications include:
• Pavement rehabilitation and overlay
• Assess the remaining life of the pavement
• Joint Sealing evaluation
• Void detection
• Conduct ‘whole of life’ costs and economic cost benefit analysis of alternate pavement design
• Report layer moduli (stiffness), deflection, curvature and sub-grade CBR
• Provide Quality Assurance assessment of recent works to ensure that they meet design life criteria
• Assess the impact of increasing road volumes, traffic types or load capacities on the life and quality of the pavement.
