Subgrade and Pavement Testing

Our company, leveraging its central government-owned enterprise background and multiple high-level qualifications (including CMA certification and Comprehensive Class A testing qualification for highway engineering), possesses the capability to perform over 1,800 testing parameters. Our services cover the entire process from materials to structural entities. In terms of technical equipment, we possess advanced instruments such as a 20,000 kN computer-controlled compression-shear testing machine for rubber bearings, imported ground-penetrating radar (GPR), pavement inspection vehicles, and bridge inspection vehicles. Regarding independent research and development capabilities, we hold multiple patents, including a patent for a pavement strength tester used in highway testing technology and a patent for an asphalt performance testing device capable of simulating rainfall to evaluate the drainage performance of asphalt pavements.
