Company Osauhing Apest Grupp offers a service for testing of existing and newly laidpavement, gravel and soil bases by Deflektomera falling load – INSPECTOR 3.

Our company has passed the calibration device INSPEKTOR 3, trained testing staff andtechnical equipment to create electronic records of the tests.

Deflectometer falling load – INSPEKTOR 3 allows us to determine the strengthparameters of the layers of structures, as with a binder and without binder materials (sand, gravel, crushed rock, asphalt, etc.) and on the basis of these data to estimate the carrying capacity of the layer (coverage).

In road construction the device can monitor the degree of compaction of soil, laid graveland pavement. The construction of buildings – to evaluate the bearing capacity of soilunder the foundation.

More information is available on the manufacturer’s website.
