Going Beyond Pavements
The requirement for accurate and reliable evaluations of pavement composition and structure has encouraged us to adopt new and revolutionary methods to analyze today’s ever changing pavements. Learn more about our technical equipment below.
Asphalt Pavement Analyzer - APA Jr.
Trimat can now perform RUT and HAMBURG Testing on asphalt mixtures using the APA Jr.
The APA-Jr. is a multifunctional loaded wheel tester that is used to evaluate Cold Mix, Warm Mix, and Hot Mix asphalt in a dry or submerged in water condition. The APA Jr. automatically displays in a numeric and graphical format the real-time development of permanent deformation

> Asphalt Pavement Analyzer Test - AASHTO T340, with Regular Pressure or High Pressure for Airport Mixes
Moisture Testing
Trimat uses the M.I.S.T. system to analyze damage susceptibility of asphalt mixtures to measure stripping or raveling. We can have results within 24 hours rather than the traditional method that can last several days.
SmartLoader
SmartLoader is a variable speed universal load frame that can perform a multitude of monotonic loading tests. The SmartLoader is perfect for Balanced Mix Design (BMD) testing and comes preprogrammed with a number of BMD tests, including IDEAL-CT (Cracking Test), IDEAL-RT (Rutting Test), IFIT, and LSU SCB test.
