FWD

Falling Weight Deflectometer

A sophisticated non-destructive device that drops a calibrated weight to simulate a passing vehicle load. By measuring the resulting deflection, we evaluate the structural strength of the pavement and pinpoint weak points that direct maintenance on roads and runways.

RSP

Road Surface Profilometer

A vehicle-mounted 17-laser profiler engineered for road and airfield surveillance. It records the International Roughness Index and surface texture at traffic speed, supporting both network-level and project-level pavement assessments.

03 / 06
Gravel

Gravel Surface Profiling

A portable roughness-measurement tool using accelerometer technology to provide real-time IRI on sealed and unsealed roads. It requires no calibration, making rapid, repeatable condition data possible anywhere on the network.

04 / 06
Friction

Surface Friction Testing

A trailer-mounted device that measures the pavement friction coefficient through continuous trace and side-force measurement. Reliable friction data helps reduce accidents on both roads and airfield runways.

RAMS

Road Asset Management

Professional engineering paired with a GIS-based system that converts collected data into actionable solutions - enabling data-driven maintenance decisions and long-term network sustainability.

Predictive Maintenance Analytics

Forecasts pavement deterioration, recommends optimal treatment timing, simulates funding scenarios, prioritises high-risk segments and compares intervention strategies through lifecycle cost analysis.

One platform

Field data, processed on one platform

Roughness, friction and structural measurements captured by REAT's survey vehicles are uploaded to RoadSense, quality-checked and chainage-referenced in a single environment. Asset registers, deterioration models and reports come from the same source of truth, so every recommendation traces back to the section it was measured on.
