Road & Pavement Testing
Layer-wise quality assurance for roads and pavements — field density, CBR, DCP, bitumen testing and Marshall mix evaluation.
Pavement & Highway TestingPavements That Perform, Layer by Layer
Every layer of a road — subgrade, granular base, bituminous surface — must meet its specification before the next one is placed. RVCS road and pavement testing verifies each layer with field density tests, CBR and DCP evaluations, and bitumen and mix testing in the laboratory.
We support highways, rural roads and urban streets with layer-wise quality assurance that contractors can rely on for measurement approvals and that authorities can rely on for durable pavements.
Scope of Services
- Field density testing of soil, GSB, WMM and bituminous layers
- Laboratory and field CBR for pavement design
- Dynamic cone penetration (DCP) profiling
- Bitumen tests — penetration, softening point, ductility and viscosity
- Marshall stability and flow for bituminous mixes
- Gradation and quality checks of aggregates
- Riding quality and surface evaluation
Testing & Investigation Methods
- IS 2720 Part 28 / 29 — field density (sand replacement / core cutter)
- IS 2720 Part 16 — laboratory CBR
- ASTM D6951 — dynamic cone penetrometer
- IS 1201 to IS 1220 — bitumen test methods
- ASTM D6927 — Marshall stability test
- IS 2386 — aggregate quality for road works
Why Choose RVCS
RVCS field teams are available at short notice along alignment sections, and our laboratory completes bitumen and mix tests on schedule. Density results are reported against the design MDD so acceptance is immediate and clear.
