Asphalt Density Scanner

April 14, 2020
GSSI's pavement scanner provides accurate real-time measurements to ensure pavement life and quality.

PaveScan RDM 2.0 is an asphalt density assessment tool that provides accurate real-time measurements to ensure pavement life and quality.

 

PaveScan 2.0 incorporates a sensor design built specifically for the extremes of the asphalt paving environment, foldable deployment arms with high-visibility for worksite safety, and has a warm-up time of under one minute when the ambient temperature is over 70°F.

 

PaveScan RDM is ideal for uncovering problems that occur during the paving process, including poor uniformity and significant variations in density. By avoiding these problems, PaveScan helps avoid such premature failures as road raveling, cracking, and deterioration along joints.

 

This system automatically measures the dielectric value to identify anomalies in real-time. In addition, the dielectric values can be used as a means to correlate percent voids and density in new pavement. The technology enables users to obtain critical density data for QA/QC of new pavements. Unlike other options, like nuclear density gauges or radioactive alternatives, PaveScan does not result in any site hazards or require closing off work areas.

 

Seamlessly integrating with GPS systems, PaveScan features a flexible, modular design that facilitates easy and efficient operation and data collection. It is offered as a single sensor or a three-sensor cart-based configuration.
