Pavement Investigation Services

At PaveTest Limited, we provide comprehensive pavement investigation services throughout New Zealand. We understand the challenges our clients face and offer tailored solutions to ensure durable and reliable pavement infrastructure.

Addressing Common Pavement Problems in New Zealand

We specialise in identifying and addressing pavement issues such as surface chipseal or asphalt rutting, excess water ingress, unbroken rounded coarse aggregate in basecourse, excess clay, and soft subgrade material. Our investigations provide the insights needed for effective pavement management and rehabilitation.

Our Unique Approach to Pavement Investigation

PaveTest Limited stands out with its extensive international experience and versatile approach. We offer detailed and illustrated IANZ test pit mapping reports and can travel to any site within New Zealand. For salvaged material we are unable to test ourselves, we will pass onto a relevantly qualified IANZ laboratory at our expense. Clients will be responsible for traffic control, service location, digging out & reinstating test pits and accommodation (if required)
