Pavement & Materials Engineering
Scott Wilson is the largest UK provider of specialised
consulting services in Pavement Engineering in the UK and one
of Hong Kong's foremost specialists. We have collaborated
with the University of Nottingham since 1985 and provided research
services and standards advice to the Highways Agency for nearly 20
years. In Hong Kong, we have the most experience among
consultants in the evaluation of the road network's pavement
condition and we excel in identifying sustainable means of
reconstruction. We have excellent links with industry at all
levels, and have worked on a wide variety of projects across the
world and in doing so have helped
shape international best practice.
Our services cover the complete life-cycle of pavement assets,
whether on highways (local roads and strategic network),
airports, ports or industrial buildings.
- Visual condition & maintenance management surveys
(UKPMS)
- Non-destructive asset evaluation
- Innovative designs & strengthening solutions
- Confidential failure investigations & expert witness
- Specialised materials advice & testing
Our integrated operations include detailed site investigation,
advanced laboratory testing, high-level consultancy and specialised
research. Many of our staff have PhDs and their skills ensure that
we can bridge the gap between innovative ideas and practical
considerations. We have particular skills in:
- Falling weight deflectometer, ground probing radar, coring,
windowless sampling & dynamic probing
- Sustainable use of materials - ground stabilisation & use
of hydraulic binders, including the NAT Springbox for designs to
the HA Foundation Classes
- In situ compliance testing & performance based
specifications
- Deterioration prediction & whole life value, especially for
PFI projects
- Specialised testing and research into binders and asphalts,
including bridge surfacings
These techniques are essential if highway assets are to be
maintained, strengthened or widened with least disruption to users
now and in the future.
