ADVANCED PROFILING EQUIPMENT IMPROVES CONSTRUCTION QUALITY CONTROL AND ACCELERATES ACCEPTANCE TESTING A recent National Quality Initiative (NQI) survey indicated that pavement smoothness is the most significant measure motorists use to judge the quality of our Nation’s roads. Pavement smoothness directly relates to driver comfort as well as pavement life expectancy. New lightweight equipment for measuring pavement smoothness can help contractors save significant time and money on road construction and resurfacing projects. Lightweight profiling equipment automates the process of data collection and analysis, providing instantaneous test results. These lightweight profilers can be used within hours after paving, enabling contractors to take immediate corrective action. Fast and accurate, an advanced lightweight profiler can pay for itself on its first project, helping contractors to spot quality control issues more promptly and cost-effectively. |
