Benefits of Structural Testing 

The substructure of a road, which cannot be seen, is the most significant determining factor in the long-term performance of pavement. Every preservation treatment and minor rehabilitation is a potential waste of money if the structure of the road is not adequate to support the traffic loads. 

The structural strength of a road is especially important for roads with higher and heavier traffic. Inadequate structure on roads with more traffic may deteriorate much faster than expected. 

Our team at ICC-IMS understands that managing the structural integrity of pavements is critical for ensuring long-lasting, safe, and efficient roadways. Our pavement structural testing services, enhanced by the Fast-Falling Weight Deflectometer (FastFWD), provide comprehensive and precise evaluations of pavement conditions. This advanced technology allows us to offer objective, repeatable, and rapid assessments, enabling informed decision-making and optimized project prioritization. 

FWD testing, together with surface condition data collection, ensures that treatments are targeting the actual pavement needs, maximizing budget efficiency.
