Structure Assessment

Understand what lies beneath - and plan for the long term

World-Leading Friction Measurement for Safer, Smarter Roads

Structural condition isn’t always visible on the surface – but it’s critical to long-term asset performance. WDM’s structure assessment equipment helps you evaluate pavement strength, monitor deterioration, and plan cost-effective treatments that maximise lifespan and protect budgets.

Our deflectograph systems and Cyclopath units are built to deliver reliable, repeatable structural data. Whether you’re inspecting heavy-traffic routes or monitoring active travel corridors, we provide the tools to collect and interpret structural condition at scale – supporting investment strategies and lifecycle planning.

Designed for data you can build on

  • Accurate deflection data for assessing sublayer strength
  • Single-vehicle survey setups with integrated software and GPS
  • Cyclopath systems tailored for cycleways and pedestrian infrastructure
  • Proven equipment for DMRB-compliant surveys
  • Support for pavement design, maintenance, and lifecycle costing

When to Use Structure Assessment

  • Network-wide or targeted strength evaluation

  • Pre-treatment investigation to determine if resurfacing or reconstruction is required

  • Supporting funding bids and business cases for structural renewal

  • Managing high-traffic or high-load corridors

  • Monitoring the structural integrity of cycle routes and shared surfaces

Why It Matters

  • Avoid premature failure with accurate strength insight
  • Support whole-life asset management and budget forecasting
  • Build confidence in design and maintenance decisions
  • Ensure compliance with national pavement condition reporting standards
  • Extend asset life through targeted structural interventions
