Capability 02

Pavement

Condition evidence, structural assessment and design advice for better-performing road and pavement assets.

The only Main Roads WA approved fastFWD operated in WA

fastFWD supports pavement investigation for highways, local roads, airports and harbour areas. Its rapid data collection can reduce field time while providing evidence for structural capacity, pavement quality, layer moduli and estimated pavement life.

Faster field data
No hydraulic system
No fuel spilling
Environmentally considerate
