Our experienced team uses pavement evaluation techniques that include visual surveys and destructive (invasive) testing along with a variety of nondestructive testing alternatives such as detection testing and profile measurement. We also employ ground penetrating radar (GPR), which is used in highway inspection to provide information on pavement structure and layer thickness. The GPR equipment we utilize operates at highway speed and requires no traffc control. It is also used frequently to locate pipes and utilities, in concrete and rebar imaging and inspection, and when dealing with sinkholes, geologic hazards and landfill. Our surveys can detect various forms of pavement deterioration, voids and regions of excessive subsurface moisture.
Our state-of-the-art laboratories and field equipment, along with our highly qualified staff, mean that Western Infrastructure can provide all required testing services in-house and under the direct supervision of our engineers and other experts.
With offices and laboratories throughout California, our professionals are able to quickly respond to our clients’ needs with local knowledge and experience. Our understanding of the local natural environment coupled with our unsurpassed expertise means that Western Infrastructure has the solution to solve your transportation challenge.
