PAVEMENT ENGINEERING
Integrating the MEASURE Deflectometer into GeoSolve’s Operations
GeoSolve sought to enhance their pavement testing capabilities by acquiring a portable structural testing device. After evaluating existing market options for over a decade, they partnered with Measure to implement the MEASURE Deflectometer.
The goal was to move away from rigid, vehicle-dependent systems and long data-processing lead times toward a more flexible, integrated operational model.
DATA LATENCY
24-48 hrs
Turnaround from testing to delivery, down from months.
OPERATIONAL SPEED
Traffic Speed
No lane closures required. Real-time Doppler technology.
RELIABILITY
High Precision
Superior accuracy compared to traditional equipment.
01
System Integration Constraints
Available technologies were largely tied to the purchase of entire, specialized vehicles. GeoSolve required a standalone device that could be integrated into their own existing fleet and style of operation.
Data Processing Latency
With previous suppliers, the turnaround time from field testing to the delivery of processed results often spanned several months, creating a significant lag in project timelines.
Reliability and Support
Existing equipment in the region had shown issues with reliability and data accuracy. Furthermore, a lack of direct technical support from suppliers made troubleshooting and system optimization difficult.
02
World’s First Self-Contained System
GeoSolve selected the MEASURE Deflectometer, the world’s first self-contained deflectometer system. The implementation focused on technical transparency and direct engineering collaboration.
Portability and Integration
The system was provided as a self-contained unit, allowing GeoSolve to mount and operate the device within their preferred vehicle configuration.
Doppler Technology
The system utilizes Doppler laser technology to ensure high-accuracy data collection at normal traffic speeds, addressing the reliability issues identified in earlier equipment generations.
Direct Technical Access
During the commissioning phase, GeoSolve held weekly technical meetings with the system developers, Lasse Høi and Kåre Sloth Jensen. This direct access to the engineers who built the system was critical for a smooth setup and mastering the data interpretation.

From fleet integration to technical support, see how MEASURE addressed GeoSolve’s operational challenges.
The challenge
Available technologies were largely tied to purchasing specialized vehicles. GeoSolve needed a standalone device that could fit its existing fleet and operations.
The MEASURE solution
The MEASURE Deflectometer is supplied as a self-contained unit, allowing GeoSolve to mount and operate it within its preferred vehicle configuration.
The challenge
Equipment previously used in the region had shown reliability and data accuracy issues.
The MEASURE solution
Doppler laser technology enables high-accuracy data collection at normal traffic speeds, addressing the measurement concerns associated with earlier equipment.
The challenge
Limited direct access to suppliers made troubleshooting and system optimization difficult.
The MEASURE solution
During commissioning, GeoSolve met weekly with the system developers for support with setup, troubleshooting and data interpretation.
“The reason we bought it was because it took many months from testing to deliverables [with the competitor]. Here we have the data same day… and we’ve interpreted it by the next day.”

Objetive improvements in data delivery and operational efficiency.
REDUCED LEAD TIMES
The time from field testing to data availability has been reduced significantly. Raw data is now available on the same day as testing, with fully interpreted results typically finalized within 24 to 48 hours. This took months in the past!
CONTINUOUS TRAFFIC FLOW
The system operates at normal traffic speeds. This allows GeoSolve to collect structural data without the need for lane closures or traffic control, improving safety and allowing for rapid mobilization across multiple sites.
DATA ACCURACY
Comparative testing showed that the MEASURE system provided better accuracy and higher reliability than the equipment previously used in the region.
TECHNICAL RESPONSIVENESS
The ability to communicate directly with the manufacturer’s technical team has ensured that technical queries are resolved quickly, reducing downtime.
By adopting the MEASURE Deflectometer, GeoSolve has transitioned to a more responsive and technically superior structural testing model. The move to a self-contained system has provided the operational flexibility required for the New Zealand market, backed by a significant reduction in data processing time and a closer relationship with the technical developers.
