Applus+ provides road-auscultation services, asset-inventory data collection and consultancy in asset management.
The cost of corrective road maintenance is 3 to 5 times greater than that of appropriate preventive maintenance. In the absence of preventive maintenance and at a certain critical point in the life of an asset, re-building will be required. This is an expense that Applus+ can help road owners and operators to avoid.
As well as assessing road function and structure with our advanced auscultation systems, we can provide asset-management solutions for effective road maintenance. Applus+ can measure:
Road uniformity
Surface distress
Skid resistance
Deflection/structural capacity
Our high-tech approach involves the use of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and 3D road models made up of LIDAR point clouds.
