CMTL’s pavement testing services provides critical information on pavement condition, properties and performance.
Pavement testing is a vital element in road construction and maintenance projects. Testing limits potential damage to road surfaces, which if left unchecked can lead to cracks, potholes and costly repairs.
Our comprehensive pavement testing service covers coring and analysis of construction materials through to structural condition assessments and utility reinstatement.
Coring and Pavement Analysis
Pavement coring involves the extraction of road-based materials for laboratory testing and analysis.
Testing helps determine the strength of the bond between base layers and also assess the drainage characteristics of the pavement.
We provide comprehensive coring analysis both on-site and through our UKAS* and INAB accredited laboratories. It’s often conducted in conjunction with our Falling Weight Deflectometer surveys to give an accurate depiction of the pavement performance levels.
Utility Reinstatement Testing
CMTL’s utility reinstatement testing service helps confirm your compliance with the current specification for the reinstatement of openings in highways, from the Department of Transport. Our field team of specialists provide a rapid response service, utilising the most appropriate sampling and test equipment. Samples are then tested in one of our accredited laboratories to ensure the highest of standards.
Our utility reinstatement testing services include:
- Sub-base classification
- Diamond bit coring to establish construction make-up and thickness
- Analysis of bituminous materials including compaction, density, air voids and constituents
- Compaction characteristics of road foundations by dynamic cone penetration or nuclear density testing
