Light Weight Deflectometers – Benefits and Standards
Sign up for our next Expert Webinar!
The Light Weight Deflectometer (LWD) has recently undergone important updates in both its testing standards and specifications. This session will guide you through what those changes mean in practice, while also exploring the wider value of LWD testing in pavement foundation assessment.
During the webinar, we’ll cover:
- A brief history of pavement foundation testing methods in the UK
- The operating principles behind the LWD
- Recent updates to standards and specifications
- Correlation, certification, and what they mean for reliable testing
By the end of the webinar, participants will understand:
- How pavement foundation testing has evolved in the UK, and why those changes matter for today’s projects
- How the Light Weight Deflectometer works, including the core principles behind its measurements
- What’s new in the latest LWD standards and specifications, and how these updates affect testing practice
- How correlation and certification support reliable, defensible results
