Our Sensor Types
Measure axial strain in flexible pavement under high frequency (dynamic) conditions. The sensors are built to withstand the high temperature and vibratory rolled compaction required for asphalt placement.
Measure axial strain in rigid pavement under long-term static (slab curling) or high-frequency dynamic (pavement response to trafficking) conditions. The sensors are built to withstand the harsh conditions of concrete placement and vibration.
Measure horizontal or vertical displacements in soils or subgrade material. The sensors are built to withstand the harsh environment in soils and construction fill material during placement and compaction. They are moisture proof, with internal O-rings to prevent ingress, and can function to measure compaction or expansion of soils in various subsurface layers.
Sensors for Customized Projects
Key Benefits
Validate New Design Standards
Our sensors are used to provide technical data needed to validate new design standards, and our project applications include accelerated test pavement facilities for highways, airports and bridges.
Measurement Interpretation
Geocomp’s instrumentation is used to predict and document levels of pavement distress including rutting, cracking, and joint faulting. Our team of technical experts will then provide measurement interpretation.
Remote Monitoring
Our remote instrumentation monitoring systems are used in assessing overall structural health monitoring and are designed for high speed monitoring applications quickly and inexpensively.
Expert Installation
Geocomp staff are installation experts with high success rates in adverse environments. Our hands on experience gives us the opportunity to improve sensor design and customize installations.
