Since 1994, Applied Pavement Technology, Inc. (APTech) has provided its clients with the technical expertise required to develop practical, innovative solutions for the design, maintenance, preservation, and rehabilitation of airport and roadway pavements. APTech helps its clients identify cost-effective strategies that reduce the overall life cycle cost of preserving the pavement network while incorporating the latest pavement-related designs and technologies into organizational practice.
APTech is a recognized leader in the pavement engineering field, due in no small part to the prominent national reputations of its professional staff. The company is led by a team of accomplished principals who set the tone for a workplace environment that fosters technical excellence and creativity, as well as a focus on customer satisfaction. APTech’s services extend through all aspects of pavement engineering, including the following technical areas:
• Pavement management, including the development of maintenance and repair plans and guidelines, the conduct of pavement condition index (PCI) surveys, the assessment of agency needs, technical assistance with the enhancement of existing capabilities, and the implementation of pavement management systems.
• Pavement evaluation, including pavement condition surveys, non-destructive deflection testing using a falling weight deflectometer (FWD), coring, boring, or other types of pavement testing.
• Pavement design and rehabilitation recommendations, including conventional design procedures and mechanistic-empirical design methods.
• Forensic studies, including the investigation of premature pavement failures, the evaluation of design deficiencies, and the examination and identification of materials and construction problems.
• Life cycle cost analysis, including the consideration of both agency- and user-cost models using either deterministic or probabilistic analysis tools.
• Applied research, including pavement design and performance studies.
• Technology transfer, including the development and presentation of pavement-related training courses, guidelines, manuals of practice, and interactive training courses.
• Construction quality control and quality assurance, including reviewing mix designs, recommending repair locations, and supervising construction techniques and practices.
