Challenges
The airport’s unique topography and operational constraints allowed only limited testing windows, requiring careful coordination to complete HWD surveys efficiently.
Ensuring high-quality deflection data in a mountainous environment with variable temperatures also demanded precise testing control.
Solutions
Translink executed a tightly planned field program, aligning testing slots with operational availability and applying stringent measurement protocols to maintain data consistency.
Real-time quality checks ensured that the deflection dataset met the accuracy required for downstream PCN evaluation.
Impact
Client received a clean, dependable set of deflection records suitable for PCN computation, enabling it to progress its pavement assessment without delay.
The efficient execution minimized operational disruptions and ensured a smooth handover for the next stage of pavement evaluation.
