GRIPTESTER
Transtec’s pavement experts provide GripTester friction testing services and help you understand and interpret the results.
Transtec’s team of engineers can perform routine pavement friction testing, evaluate rubber deposit removal (before and after testing), evaluate pavement surface macrotexture and microtexture, investigate the root cause of low pavement friction conditions, and develop optimized corrective actions.
Ensure your pavements are providing adequate friction year-round. Transtec’s GripTester services help you maintain a dependable pavement system. Reduce the risk of skidding by surveying airfield surfaces regularly.
The GripTester is a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved continuous friction measurement equipment (CFME) device. It evaluates runway pavement friction and identifies areas that may have experienced a loss in texture due to wear and rubber build-up.
Following FAA AC 150/5320-12C testing and reporting guidance, Transtec helps airports maintain the value of their facilities by conducting regular surveys and assisting in corrective measures.
