Pavement Engineering

Rii specializes in non-destructive testing (NDT) and evaluation of pavements, pavement management, design development, and pavement maintenance for roadways, parking lots, airport runways, aprons and taxiways.

Pavement Management Systems

Rii has installed a large number of Pavement Management Systems (PMS) packages with various government organizations. Over time, PMS technology has evolved and progressed considerably. The earliest PMS technology provided was, in essence, an information management system in which pavement conditions were used to determine maintenance strategies. Current enhancements have been added to greatly increase efficiency and effectiveness.

Cutting-Edge Equipment and Methods

Our state-of-the art equipment and methods of obtaining data to conduct roughness and smoothness testing of pavements include the following:

  • Heavy Falling Weight Deflectometer (HFWD)
  • Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
  • High Frame Rate, High Resolution Thermal Imaging Camera
  • Lightweight Deflectometer (LWD)
  • Automated Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (ADCP)
  • Profilometer
  • Handheld GIS Data Collection
