Research and Development Equipment for Liquids
- Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR)
- Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC)
- Thermo-Mechanical Analyzer (TMA)
- Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC)
System Application and Engineering Pavement Design
- Pavement Management Systems Services
-
Pavement Condition Survey Vehicle:
Pathway is a vehicle equipped to measure the longitudinal roadway profile in order to calculate pavement roughness (IRI), rut depth, surface wear, joint and cracking faults—all utilized to make a Pavement Distress Survey and simulate the service condition provided to the user. -
Heavy Weight Deflectometer (HWD):
HWD equipment is used to analyze pavement structure capabilities for maintenance and rehabilitation strategies. The HWD evaluates the pavement’s bearing capacity by analyzing its load and deflection capacities. -
MU-Meter to evaluate the pavement’s friction index:
The friction number is a safety pavement condition level and is used for the evaluation of maintenance and rehabilitation strategies. - 8 Secmair one-pass Chip Seal Machines and one microsurfacing paver.
- 3 portable, high-capacity crushing systems: Each system unit has jaw, cone and screener.
