Falling Weight Deflectometers
Sweco’s PRIMAX falling weight deflectometers were developed by our pavement experts and are used by pavement engineers around the world to measure bearing capacity of road and airport pavements and to check the quality of unbound layers. Trailer-mounted or van-integrated falling weight deflectometers provide reliable data on the functional condition of your pavement structure, and the reinforcement requirement can be calculated in PRIMAX DESIGN – our analysis and back-calculation software.

We create value
The combination of knowledge, expertise, and experience within road and airport maintenance systems gives Sweco a solid basis for the development of reliable Road Asset Management System RoSy® RAMS and Airport Management System, RoSy® APMS. We apply the systems in our daily consultancy services in combination with measuring equipment such as our falling weight deflectometers for bearing capacity measurements, PRIMAX, and PRIMA 100.
We work with projects from start to end and provide consultancy services in connection with, e.g.:
• Planning - design - condition registrations
• Financial optimisation
• Construction work where short time horizons are a challenge
• Repair and maintenance of air and landside pavements
• Asphalt mixes and recipes
• Alternative materials such as recycled materials
• Supervision and measurements in the field and geotechnical
