Infrared Thermography - Asphalt

Why does asphalt pavement fail prematurely and develop bone-jarring potholes, raveling and cracking?

Since the mid-1980s, many highways that were engineered for a service period of 15 years have been failing much sooner. The reason has been traced by using the technology of infrared thermography to be excessive temperature variations in the hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavement surface, or mat, of a road during laydown.

During inspections we will utilize a FLIR SystemsT ThermaCam® E65 Infrared Camera. Infrared thermal imaging is emerging as a highly affordable and convenient inspection method that provides a whole new level of quality control during mat laydown, greatly increasing the performance and service life of our nation's highways.
