PRIMAX – Design Software for Roads and Airports

PRIMAX Design Software is Swecos back-calculation software. PRIMAX Design Software is available in a ROAD version, an AIRPORT version, and a combined ROAD/AIRPORT version.

PRIMAX Design software

PRIMAX Design software allows pavement engineers to analyse and calculate data collected by the PRIMAX FWD/HWD and several other FWD types as well.

Valuable information about road and airfield pavements will allow decision-makers to make the right decisions with regard to reinforcement needs and maintenance strategies ensuring safe air- and landside pavements.

Add RoSy Pavement Management System or RoSy Airport Pavement Management System to your tools to obtain full view of your pavements and maintenance strategies 20 years ahead.

Advantages with PRIMAX Design Software

  • Analyse deflection and load signals at any measured point on-site
  • Present results for an entire road network, per section and per measuring point
  • Present results for airports – PCR and ACR, PCN and ACN values
  • You save money and time with the integrated solutions
  • PRIMAX Design can process data from several FWD types

PRIMAX Design is a software applied for processing of data collected by PRIMAX FWD or any other FWD. The analysis and calculations made with the system provide road and airport authorities with valuable informatoin about road and airfield pavements allowing decision-makers a solid platform for making the right decisions with regard to reinforcement needs or maintenance strategies that will ensure safe land- and airside pavement structures.

Results can be presented for an entire road network/Airport, per section and per measuring point with specifications of applied parameters.

PRIMAX Design provides layer moduli, residual life and reinforcement needs for all analysed points as well as per section. PCN, ACN and PCR and ACR values are calculated for individual pavement sections on the basis of calculated field data.

Overview:

  • Back- & forward calculation
  • PRIMAX MET or BAKFAA LET
  • Calculation based on 18 sensors
  • Multiple calculation engines
  • Overlay (optimize reinforcement)
  • Determination of critical layer
  • E moduli for up to 10 layers
  • Estimation of residual life
  • Presentation of design options

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
