Rapid multichannel analysis of surface waves for non-destructive road and pavement evaluation.
Cart System
Overview
The SeisMike Road System brings advanced MASW technology to roadway and pavement evaluation. Towed behind a vehicle, it collects high-quality multichannel data at road speeds for efficient, continuous, non-destructive evaluation of concrete and asphalt pavements.
The system is designed for rapid pavement condition assessment without interrupting traffic. It provides high-resolution subsurface imaging, real-time data quality feedback, and actionable results through Park Seismic PSX processing software.
SeisMike Road System is ideal for concrete pavement evaluation, asphalt pavement evaluation, pavement condition assessment, airport runway inspection, bridge deck and parking structure evaluation, and infrastructure asset management.

Benefits
- The road-speed towing design allows crews to evaluate long roadway sections much faster than stationary testing methods.
- Continuous data collection at road speeds helps reduce lane closures and traffic interruption.
- PSX processing provides clear subsurface images and engineering-property maps for better pavement condition evaluation.
- High-resolution results help identify weak zones, integrity changes, and areas requiring further investigation or repair.
- The system is designed for easy setup, vehicle towing, real-time QC, and fast field productivity.
- SeisMike evaluates roads and pavements without coring, cutting, or damaging the surface.
