Lightweight Profilometer Services

 
The Lightweight Profilometer (LWP) is designed for smoothness control on new or overlay pavements. It is used to profile new road surfaces within hours after paving, so that paving contractors can save money by taking corrective action, such as milling or filling, to meet smoothness specifications, before the surface is fully hardened or “set”.
