Services
Pavement Evaluation & Design
Our pavement evaluation and design services address diverse traffic requirements using FAA, AASHTO, and military standards. We employ advanced software like FAARFIELD and DARWin-ME for accurate modeling while incorporating sustainable design principles. Our engineers analyze existing conditions through nondestructive testing and core sampling to develop cost-effective rehabilitation strategies tailored to each project's unique requirements.
Nondestructive Testing
We provide nondestructive testing using FAA-compliant Heavy Falling Weight Deflectometers to assess existing pavement conditions. Our mobile equipment captures engineering data with minimal traffic disruption, enabling quantitative analysis of pavement strength and structural properties. This technology supports accurate rehabilitation planning while maintaining operational continuity during testing operations.
Pavement Management
Our pavement management systems combine condition surveys with GIS technology to optimize maintenance planning. We develop multi-year capital improvement programs using PAVER software and FAA standards, providing clients with data-driven recommendations for cost-effective pavement preservation and rehabilitation strategies across airport and roadway networks.
Construction Management
Our construction management team oversees projects from design through completion, ensuring compliance with specifications while maintaining schedule and budget. Services include constructability reviews, material submittal evaluations, and real-time documentation using drone technology. We implement quality control measures and conflict resolution strategies to guarantee successful project delivery.
Forensic Investigation
We conduct forensic investigations to determine causes of pavement failures through comprehensive material testing and construction analysis. Our experts identify design, material, or construction deficiencies and provide remediation recommendations. This service includes expert testimony and detailed reporting to support repair planning and future pavement performance improvements.
