1. The system of non-destructive testing equipment evaluates the condition of the road and runway surface with the configuration of 3 laser sensors operating simultaneously.
Application:
- A modular system that uses 3D laser sensors to measure pavement profiles for applications such as highways and runways. It measures surface roughness, texture and rutting at highways speeds and to international standards. The system records and measures in accordance with: International Roughness Index (IRI); Profilograph Index (PI); Ride Quality Index (RQI); Half Car Ride Index (HRI); Ride Number (RN); Longitudinal Profile; MPD; SMPD and STD (Volumetric Measurement).
- Calculation of RUT according to EU and US standards.
Equipment is designed to meet or exceed the following ASTM standards: ASTM E-950, ASTM E-1926, ASTM E-1845, ASTM-1489, ASTM E-1703
Benefits:
- The design consists of modular components and software - from a single laser and accelerometer system (for single wheel path measurements) to the complete system consisting of up to 40 fully integrated lasers (for full transverse highway measurement) giving measured road width up to 3.5 metres.
- It is capable of real-time continuous measurements of longitudinal and transverse profile, rut depth and macro texture with speeds between 7km/h and 115km/h. The range of profilometers enables true ASTM Class 1 profiling of road surfaces at all collection speeds. Results are displayed visually in real time on a user-friendly interface which displays RN, IRI, MPD and SMPT calculations in real time. GPS and Gyro integration is also available as an option, to record and display the vehicle’s coordinates and geometry.
2. Continuous Friction Measuring Equipment (CFME)
Application:
CFME - Continuous Friction Measuring Equipment, a trailer designed to operate with a vehicle to become a specialized survey system, which is light weight, robust construction, reliable performance and meeting the requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) make it the most deployable runway friction tester in the world.
By employing a regular monitoring schedule, airport operators can better understand these variations and take them into account when trying to predict wear levels as well as the condition of the surface. Through regular testing, the data gathered can be analysed to better focus maintenance budgets, targeting individual areas for improvement, reducing costs and increasing the life of the runway.
Standard:
ICAO, UK CAA, EUSA, FAA Compliant
