GPR-AP, JILSFWD, Falling Weight Deflectometer

Gary Sanati President & Adrian Elizondo Service/Operations Manager “Where the person with the data wins!” GPR-AP (Automated Processing) Concept and Technology Developed by:

Truck FWD w/GPR

Progression of FWD and GPR
Six years ago
Two computers in truck required two operators
DMI was shared between both FWD and GPR
Auto lowering system for ground coupled GPR
Low speed suspension for GPR antennas
3-5 minutes to combine FWD and GPR data setsOne computer for both applications one operator
Four years ago
One computer for both applications one operator
2-3 minutes to combine FWD and GPR data sets
Processing of GPR files still performed manually

The only Integrated FWD and GPR in the world
Pavement design relies on accurate layer thickness data.
Normally cores are taken which damage the road.
GPR gets layer thickness at every test location to optimize analysis
GPR reduces the amount of cores taken
GPR is non-destructive

Raw Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) data

Manual Processed GPR file Layer 1= 5.9” Asphalt, Layer 2 = 13” Base (19” depth) 2-3 minutes to process

GPR Automatic Processing (GPR-AP)
GPR-AP gets layer depths and thickness information automatically at every test location in real time.
Eliminates the need for manual GPR processing.
Obtain FWD and GPR data sets in less than 30 seconds.
Ability to see where structural changes occur in real time
Ability to pinpoint where coring tests are needed on the fly
Dr. Ken Maser of Infrasense and JILS developed this algorithm specifically for the JILS Integrated FWD and GPR product line.
Now available in WaveTrac
Concept and Technology Developed by:

JILS-Fastest and Most Accurate!
The fastest FWD in the world thereby reducing exposure to traffic and labor costs
Most accurate FWD in the world due to our defection algorithm
WaveTrac utilizes bounce analysis technology that allows a JILS FWD to collect three sets of data in 13 seconds, more than 230% faster than before.

WaveTrac Data Collection System for FWD’s
Collect three sets of data from only one drop when using WaveTrac’s industry changing Bounce collection and analysis methods.
Reduce labor costs by 50% or more and produce twice as much with the same number of FWD Units.
Reduce equipment usage by 33% and increase the life of moving parts for your JILS FWD by 40%.
WaveTrac delivers more accurate readings and deflection measurements which will help you build longer lasting pavement structures.
WaveTrac stores calibration data which reduces calibration by 40%.
Patent Pending – Found Only at JILS Save thousands of dollars after implementing the WaveTrac data collection system for FWD’s Ask us How WaveTrac Will Help You Meet Green Initiatives

Other Benefits of WaveTrac
Detect structural changes in pavement structures and easily mark where to core by using WaveTrac’s relative strength graphing feature.
WaveTrac also delivers more accurate readings and deflection measurements through its improved and highly sophisticated algorithms
Better readings and measurements will lead to stronger road designs and longer lasting pavement structures.

Reduce Labor Costs
When technicians can meet data collection requirements in 1/3 the of the time required by other competing FWD equipment, labor and project savings are substantial.
WaveTrac literally enables your JILS FWD to produce double the amount of workload as before in the same amount of time.
Saving in labor can also mean a savings on insurance and other labor related costs.
Reduced exposure to risk and injury as the result of spending less time in high-risk or dangerous traffic environments.

The Bounce Method
WaveTrac collects and analyzes data during the bounce portions of each drop.
WaveTrac uses proprietary logic and algorithms that makes subsequent bounce data reliable and as useful as primary drop data.
WaveTrac displays three more quality measurements for improved field quality.

How it Works
Raw data displayed here demonstrates the accuracy of each impact recorded during just one drop of which can be seen in the graph through the flattening of the boundary condition before each impact.
With three qualifying impacts collected during each drop technicians are able to eliminate on average two or more additional drops found to be standard in conventional practices
