FWD
Testing
Measure pavement deflection, calculate layer moduli, and predict remaining structural life for roads, highways, and airports.
Why FWD Testing?
- Surface condition tells you what you see. FWD testing tells you what's beneath. Make smarter investment decisions, avoid over-design and premature reconstruction, and reduce lifecycle cost.
Applications
Urban Arterials & Highway Networks
Evaluate structural adequacy
and prioritize rehabilitation
across networks.
Airport Runways / ACN-PCN Analysis
Determine Aircraft Classification
Number (ACN) and Pavement
Classification Number (PCN).
Concrete Joint Load Transfer Efficiency (LTE)
Quantify LTE and support
design, QC/QA, and rehab
decisions.
Allowable Load & Remaining Life
Estimate allowable loads
and predict remaining
structural life.
Rapid Field Data Collection
FWD testing at calibrated load levels with multi-sensor deflection capture.
Deflection Basin Analysis
Quality-check and analyze deflection basins for data reliability.
Backcalculation of Layer Moduli
Compute elastic moduli of each layer using proven algorithms.
Integration with SAMs
Feed outputs into pavement-management workflows and budgeting.
Reliable Data. Defensible Decisions.
FWD testing provides accurate, repeatable, and traceable structural data you can trust.
- Accurate — high-precision generators and calibrated load.
- Traceable — standards-compliant testing and QC/QA workflow.
- Decision-Ready — engineering reports formatted for action.
