Dynatest Heavy Weight Deflectometer (HWD)

July 10, 2019

The Dynatest Heavy Weight Deflectometer (HWD) is designed to impart a load pulse to the pavement surface, simulating the load produced by an aircraft. Deflection sensors, mounted around the load plate measure the deformation of the pavement in response to the load. With industry leading loading capability to 320kN, the Dynatest HWD can easily simulate and measure the load levels and response of large aircraft such as the Boeing 747/777 and the Airbus A380. The resulting data is used for the evaluation of pavement structural condition and overlay design.
