Light Weight Deflectometer is created for determining the bearing capacity and compaction of soil and other such sub-bases only. There were a few more devices that were used before for testing the bearing capacity of the soil. But, LWD makes it possible to perform these tests and evaluations easily. With the help of the Light Weight Deflectometer, one can make use of dynamic plate load tester for testing the soil’s inbuilt layers. This is one of the reasons why people have started using this device in those sites that are not easily accessible. Whether one has to test the quality of soil in pipeline trenches or road construction, this device can be used anywhere. It can be used for coarse and mixed grained soil also. Now, let’s know how...
The Light Weight Deflectometer is an advanced device designed to determine the non-cohesive sub-bases, compaction quality, pavement improvements, and bearing capacity of the soil. It comes with a dynamic plate load tester which tests the inbuilt soil layers. This machine is suitable especially for the hard to access sites. It is mainly used in railway engineering and road construction. It is also used to examine foundation fillings and roadbeds.
