|
The GeoGauge is the only hand portable gauge available
to provide the required simplicity, quickness and
precision to directly measure and monitor the in-place
engineering properties and do so at construction speed.
The GeoGauge applies a constant load vibrating force
to the soil’s surface and measures the resulting
displacement. This dynamic technology simulates
actual in-use conditions. One instrument to link design
specifications with compaction in 75 seconds for
enhanced QC/QA. The GeoGauge supports, links and
advances soil compaction process with Mechanistic
Design and performance specifications. Soil and
other materials are compacted to create a functional
structure with the desired engineering properties for
the application and life intended.
Applications include subgrade, subbase, base, monitoring the strength gain of lime, cement, fly-ash and polymer stabilized materials, monitoring the re-compacting of underground utility backfills to previous properties or to match surrounding undisturbed materials, monitoring the compaction of asphalt and cold in-place recycling to peak properties to prevent wasted effort and damaging over-compaction. |

| The GeoGauge is the advanced soil compaction process control instrument that enables construction of higher quality and lower cost roadways and highways. Pavement components and layers can now be compacted to relevant engineering properties taken directly from design. Compacting and monitoring the soil directly to design’s requirement of structural stiffness or material modulus during the actual process establishes the means to effectively control structural uniformity, strength and deflection, as well as enabling the monitoring and control of the construction quality of various materials. This leads to longer lasting products that cost less to build and maintain. | ||||||||||||
