Pavement Evaluation

Understanding Pavement From Below

Pavement evaluation uses non-destructive investigation to assess subsurface conditions within pavement systems. Surface-based scanning provides insight into pavement layers, internal features, and anomalies without cutting, coring, or disrupting traffic.

Pavement Evaluation

When Pavement Conditions Are Unclear

Pavement systems often include multiple layers and subsurface features that are not well documented. Pavement evaluation helps reduce uncertainty by identifying internal conditions prior to maintenance, rehabilitation, or construction activities where subsurface information is required.

Pavement Evaluation

Non-Destructive Pavement Scanning

Evaluation is performed using surface-based scanning methods that image pavement layers and subsurface conditions. Data is collected along defined alignments or areas to identify changes in material or structure without damaging the pavement surface.

Pavement Evaluation

Documented Pavement Conditions

Deliverables include mapped pavement layers, identified anomalies, and documented scan results. Information is provided to support planning, coordination, and informed decision-making before rehabilitation or construction activities proceed.

Pavement Evaluation

Common Applications

Pavement evaluation is commonly applied where subsurface pavement conditions may influence planning or construction decisions.

Assess pavement structure and subsurface conditions along roadways prior to rehabilitation or modification activities.

Evaluate subsurface pavement layers in airfields where coring or disruption is limited.

Identify internal pavement conditions within industrial facilities to support maintenance and planning.
