GSSI introduces PaveScan RDM 2.0 asphalt density assessment tool
GSSI, the world’s leading manufacturer of ground penetrating radar (GPR) equipment, introduced PaveScan RDM 2.0 – an innovative asphalt density assessment tool that provides accurate real-time measurements to ensure pavement life and quality.
PaveScan 2.0 incorporates a new sensor design built specifically for the extremes of the asphalt paving environment, foldable deployment arms with high visibility for work site safety, and an under one-minute warm-up time when the ambient temperature is over 70° F.
The new tool is ideal for uncovering problems that occur during the paving process, including poor uniformity and significant variations in density. As a result, PaveScan RDM helps avoid premature failures, such 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 to correlate percent voids and density in new pavement. The innovative 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.
