In the management and maintenance of traffic infrastructure, we at Roadscanners focus on proactive maintenance. We try to react to the problem even before the eye sees the damage, for example, on the surface of a road or an airport.
When the root cause of the damage and not just the damage is repaired, the structure is extended to its full life cycle and significant cost savings of maintenance are achieved. Proactive maintenance policies that react to the early phase symptoms and fix the root cause of the problem have been the base of our operations since year 1998.
Infrastructure asset management without breaking the surface or structures
Our key expertise is in the development of the use of non-destructive methods, such as ground penetrating radar (GPR), laser scanner, accelerometer, HD and thermal camera linked together with GPS, in the monitoring and diagnostics of roads, streets, bridges and airports.
The good quality data is essential for traffic infrastructure asset management, analysis and planning. Accurate information of current situation makes planning of repair measures easier. Correctly chosen and accurate repair methods will lead, for example, to a good road condition and lower maintenance costs.
