GSSI PaveScan Mix Design Module
GSSI, a manufacturer of ground penetrating radar (GPR) equipment, highlights the PaveScan RDM 2.0 and PaveScan Mix Design Module (MDM) for asphalt density assessment.
Using PaveScan MDM and RDM gives paving contractors a comprehensive and accurate view into pavement quality without the expense, risk and errors from spot coring. More importantly, reducing the need to core exposes fewer workers to the dangers of work zones.
PaveScan RDM is ideal for uncovering problems that occur during the paving process, including poor uniformity and significant variations in density. By avoiding these problems, PaveScan RDM helps avoid such premature failures as road raveling, cracking, and deterioration along joints, according to the manufacturer.
This system automatically measures the dielectric value to identify anomalies in realtime. In addition, the dielectric values can be used as a means to correlate percent voids and density in new pavement. The innovative technology enables users to obtain critical density data for QA/QC of new pavements. Unlike other options, like nuclear density gauges or radioactive alternatives, PaveScan does not result in any site hazards or require closing off work areas.
Seamlessly integrating with GPS systems, PaveScan features a flexible, modular design that facilitates easy and efficient operation and data collection. It is offered as a single sensor or a three-sensor cart based configuration.
PaveScan MDM transforms the RDM into a powerful
new quality control tool for asphalt density assessment. It is sensitive to subtle changes in aggregate, mix, and moisture, and can be used to immediately alert paving contractors to inadvertent changes in the aggregate mix. Users can compare daily samples against approved mix designs to detect any deviations and fix problems before the mix is deployed in the field. One five-minute lab test enables users to accurately reveal problems before any need for silo dumps or other costly remediation. PaveScan MDM users also can create a digital library of mix designs. PaveScan MDM provides a calibration curve that can be used to accurately show density variability within the asphalt mat. Such a precise degree of process control ensures that all bridge decks and longitudinal joints can be rolled properly. By helping to avoid premature road failures such as raveling, cracking and deterioration along poorly compacted joints, PaveScan technology builds better quality longer lasting roads, according to the manufacturer.

* Technical testing regulations for evenness measurements on road surfaces in longitudinal and transverse directions. A clear sign of the quality that can be achieved only with a perfectly coordinated team and the right equipment, as Hendrik Wendt, Site Manager & Concrete Technologist, HIB Infra GmbH & Co. KG subsequently explained: “On this project, we once again enjoyed the excellent experience of working together with the team from Wirtgen.

Entering Year Four of Rebuild Illinois, the Illinois Department of Transportation announced multiple projects in the Peoria and Quad Cities area are under way or planned. Twelve major projects in Peoria represent a total investment of $245.3 million, improving safety and mobility while sustaining and creating good-paying jobs throughout the region. Of these projects, 10 of them are scheduled to be completed in 2022, with the remaining two in 2023.
Seven major projects in the Quad Cities area represent a total investment of $55.78 million, improving safety and mobility while sustaining and creating good-paying jobs throughout the region. Five of the seven projects are scheduled to be completed in 2022. Peoria Projects
