Pavement engineering firm The Transtec Group was hired by RS&H to perform an evaluation of airfield pavements at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (ABIA) in Austin, Texas. RS&H, a national architecture, engineering and consulting firm, was interested in using Rolling Dynamic Deflectometer (RDD) testing to enhance the traditional pavement evaluation and knew Transtec had extensive experience with evaluating and interpreting data from the RDD.

CLIENT: RS&H

The primary evaluation included data collection of runways, taxiways, maintenance ramps, and a portion of the general aviation apron to support the airport’s pavement management program (PMP). The data gathered was used to determine structural capacity, evaluate support conditions, aid in forensic analyses, and select design and rehabilitation alternatives.
