Morehouse Instrument Company calibration technician Greg Huneke calibrates a Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD), a critical tool used by civil engineers to evaluate the physical properties of pavement in highways, local roads, airport pavements, harbor areas, railway tracks, and elsewhere. The data acquired from FWDs is primarily used to estimate pavement structural capacity, facilitate overlay design, or determine if the pavement is overloaded. AASHTO developed the calibration procedure Greg is performing with a special program created by Cornell University. The end calibration of this FWD is combined with other equipment to ensure that pavement analysis and deflection data are accurate and repeatable. Greg's work exemplifies our commitment to accuracy and reflects our broader mission: making the world safer. Through such detailed and reliable force and torque calibration, Morehouse plays a pivotal role in ensuring the safety and durability of pavements worldwide. Whether it's highways, local roads, or airport pavements, our work supports these essential infrastructures' structural integrity and longevity. Every calibration at Morehouse contributes to a safer, more reliable world. www.MHForce.com #Morehouse #MeasurementsMatter #PrecisionGuaranteed #ActionShotFriday #Calibration
