MIT-SCAN-T3
MEASUREMENT OF LAYER THICKNESS ON ASPHALT AND CONCRETE ROADWAYS
The MIT-SCAN-T3 was developed for the nondestructive and precise analysis of asphalt and concrete pavements. Unbound courses of the upper pavement structure (frost protection layer and aggregate base layer) can also be assessed.
The nondestructive measurements are based on pulse induction technology. However, a prerequisite is the installation of a metallic reflector (antipole) of aluminum or steel at the base of the pavement layer to be measured. Layer thickness can be determined directly during paving (self-monitoring) or later as part of control inspections (external monitoring) performed for acceptance of construction work. To take a measurement, the MIT-SCAN-T3 is run over the measuring site. Within seconds, it accurately determines layer thickness. This way, based on a larger number of measuring sites, pavement thickness can be measured extensively and effectively.
