Innovative TechnologyPaveScan RDM offers an easy and affordable assessment tool to non-destructively determine asphalt dielectric during application. This system is ideal for uncovering inconsistencies that occur during the paving process, including poor uniformity and significant variations in density.
-
Groundbreaking SolutionsPaveScan RDM is the premier asphalt test method to identify areas of non-conformity in new pavement. It can be deployed with two different survey methods; utilizing the dielectric values or percent voids. There are no site hazards or need to close off work areas as is the case with nuclear gauges/radioactive alternatives.

Data VisualizationFrom technician to engineer, the PaveScan RDM is easy to operate. With seamless GPS integration, real-time onscreen data output, and export options, this system is ideal for government transportation agencies and paving contractors alike.
