Roading Problems
Maintenance Planning
Traditionally, drainage maintenance has relied heavily on reactive approaches with minimal data available to strategically inform forward works planning. This often leads to inefficient use of resources, where maintenance activities occur either prematurely or too late, resulting in unnecessary costs and reduced road asset lifespan.
TDRI's Time-Domain Reflectometry Instrument (TSMM) transforms maintenance planning into a proactive, data-driven process by providing continuous moisture monitoring across your road network. By identifying moisture accumulation trends beneath the road surface, TDRI's technology precisely highlights high-risk areas before visible distress such as rutting and cracking appears. Maintenance teams can therefore prioritize these critical zones for targeted drainage clearing of ditches and culverts, significantly reducing the likelihood of pavement failures.
When pavement distress has already begun, TSMM data provides robust, evidence-based justification for targeted interventions. This data-driven approach strengthens funding proposals for additional drainage and rehabilitation works, ensuring these projects are prioritized effectively and efficiently. As a result, roads rehabilitated using TDRI's insights demonstrate enhanced performance, longevity, and cost efficiency by maintaining optimal moisture conditions beneath the road surface.
With TDRI, each maintenance dollar is strategically invested, optimizing asset life, reducing unplanned maintenance, and improving road network resilience.
New Construction Quality Assurance & Quality Control
Effective moisture management during foundation compaction is critical to achieving the optimal density, strength, and durability required for high-quality road construction. Traditional spot-check methods provide only limited insight, potentially overlooking uneven moisture distribution that can lead to weak spots, rework, or premature structural failure.
TDRI’s advanced moisture scanning technology moves beyond conventional spot checks, enabling rapid, comprehensive moisture assessments across entire construction sites within minutes. This ensures uniform moisture levels throughout the foundation, facilitating optimal compaction at minimal cost. By providing detailed, site-wide moisture data, construction teams can precisely adjust their compaction strategies, significantly reducing the risk of costly rework or early structural distress.
By integrating TDRI moisture scanning into quality assurance processes, project managers and engineers gain an unprecedented level of confidence and control. Enhanced data accuracy not only streamlines compliance with construction specifications but also establishes robust documentation for regulatory and quality audits.
With TDRI, new road constructions achieve superior foundational integrity, longer pavement life, and measurable reductions in overall project risks and costs
Preservation &
Preventative Maintenance
Pavement preservation, including rejuvenator treatments and chip seals, is an essential strategy to prolong pavement lifespan and maintain optimal road conditions. However, the effectiveness of these treatments significantly depends on managing subsurface moisture levels. Without accurate moisture monitoring, preservation treatments can fail prematurely, resulting in wasted resources and increased lifecycle costs.
TDRI’s continuous moisture scanning provides critical insight, enabling precise assessment of moisture conditions beneath the pavement. This allows road maintenance teams to identify and mitigate areas of high moisture content before applying preservation treatments. By proactively addressing moisture issues, TDRI technology ensures that rejuvenator treatments and chip seals bond effectively, greatly enhancing their performance and durability.
Integrating continuous moisture monitoring into preservation strategies ensures your preventative maintenance investment is maximized, significantly extending pavement life and reducing overall maintenance expenditures. With TDRI, you gain the confidence that your preservation efforts yield the best possible outcomes, effectively maintaining good roads longer.
