Roads and highways

Safe roads and highways are a crucial elements of infrastructure. This applies to both new contraction of asphalt pavements as to maintenance, so it is important to keep a close eye on the condition of roads. Thereby the awareness among road authorities for a safe road surface also leads to an increasing demand for carrying out control measurement.

Kiwa can help and support in every step of the construction chain for both roads and highways. We have a number of testing systems, to test virtually all characteristics that may apply to the design, construction and management of roads, industrial sites and airports.

On site testing

Kiwa has the knowledge and newest equipment to test roads and highways on site, and we offer lots of services with a high level of efficiency. All functional properties can be determined in just one run. We have developed our testing techniques which no longer hinder traffic:

Texture
Skid resistance
Uneveness
Ride comfort (IRI)
Ravelling
Road Markings
Cracking
Potholes
and many more

Laboratory testing

Besides to the testing on site, we test all relevant properties of road construction materials in our own fully equipped and state of the art laboratories. Our services for roads and highways are completed by research and development, consulting and geotechnical services for our international and national acting customers.

For roads and highways, Kiwa is certifying:

road markings and the application of road markings
road barriers
asphalt and concrete and ancillary products like gravel sand, fillers etc.
road equipment like traffic control

We are using our international Kiwa network to offer our services worldwide on all continents.
