Skid Resistance (SCRIM) Surveys: We own and operate two SCRIM machines to cater for the needs of our Irish clients. We are the only commercial operator of a SCRIM machine in Ireland. We provide SCRIM measurement and analysis services to the NRA, PPP firms and Irish local authorities. Asset Inventory Network Surveys: PMS can carry out an inventory of roadside items in order to populate a complete Route Asset Inventory of a given road section. The relevant video or LiDAR data is collected at speeds of up to 115kmh. The data collected is normally referenced to GPS coordinate systems allowing integration to GIS, if required.
MS Pavement Management Services Ltd. (PMS) is a civil engineering consultancy firm specialising in testing, evaluation and management of roads and airports. The company was founded in 1992, and has offices in Galway and Dublin. PMS is INAB accredited for all of its pavement services

Road Surface Condition Surveys We own two Dynatest Road Surface Profiler vehicles to simultaneously measure pavement performance parameters at high speed (c. 70-80 km/h). These parameters include Rut Depth, IRI, Geometrics, Surface Texture and Video.
Laser Crack Measurement System (LCMS) The Laser Crack Measurement System (LCMS) is a highspeed and high-resolution transverse profiling system. Typically, the LCMS system can capture one road profile every few millimetres (5 mm at 100km/h) by using two laser profilers that acquire the shape of the pavement. Each profile gives full 4-meter width 3D profiles with 1mm resolution allowing for the characterization and the visualisation of high quality images and shape (texture) of the road surface.
Structural Surveys: For structural evaluation, we now own three Falling Weight Deflectometers (FWD) for use on roads and airports. PMS now own and operate a high-speed Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system. Since PMS has introduced GPR capabilities we have carried out pavement construction surveys for the NRA and a wide range of local authorities.
Highway Testing Laboratory (HTL) HTL offers a full suite of laboratory material testing on granular, bituminous and cementitious materials to local authorities, material suppliers and contractors. It also offers a comprehensive on-site testing programme for pavement materials, and has carried out QA/QC programmes for DAA, NRA, local authority project staff and specialised surfacing contractors. Mix design for new and recycled materials have also been carried out for a number of material suppliers.
