HWD testing for thick pavements
Heavy Weight Deflectometer
Our Heavy Weight Deflectometer (HWD) can simulate heavy wheel load. From airplanes such as the Airbus A380 and Boeing 777, or transport vehicles such as straddle carriers and reach stackers. The HWD is most suitable for performing bearing capacity testing on thick and stiff pavements, such as airports and container terminals.
Method
Modern and fast
QRoad uses powerful and fast Dynatest HWDs. With our team of highly experienced operators, we can guarantee optimal service for every job. You can count on correct and fast execution of fall weight deflection measurements in the field. Ancillary issues, such as office work, are performed immediately before and after the measurements in the same line. So you also never have to wait long for the results of a measurement. On top of that, we are also available 24/7 to take measurements. Year-round.
