Pavement Surface Flatness Testing

The Travelling Beam Device is used to evaluate the flatness of pavement surfaces before project acceptance, maintenance, or rehabilitation work.

It enables operators to detect surface irregularities, record pavement profile variations, and accurately identify locations that require corrective work. The integrated marker system simplifies the identification of high and low areas, improving inspection speed and accuracy during field measurements.


Integrated Marker System

The Travelling Beam Device is equipped with an integrated marker system that allows operators to mark uneven pavement sections directly during inspection.

This feature helps identify areas requiring grinding or filling, reducing inspection time and improving maintenance efficiency.


Applications of the Travelling Beam Device

The Travelling Beam Device is suitable for:


Why Choose the Travelling Beam Device?

The Travelling Beam Device provides a reliable and practical solution for measuring pavement flatness and identifying surface irregularities.

Its single-operator design minimizes inspection time, while the integrated marker system allows immediate identification of high and low pavement areas requiring correction. The device is an ideal solution for quality control during pavement construction, resurfacing, and maintenance operations.
