Innovation Hits the Road - Saskatoon-based firm develops tools to assess road conditions without digging

摘要

In order to meet the ongoing demands of private and commercial transportation, a well-maintained road system is itical to the success of any region. Yet the cost of such maintenance poses a major challenge for municipal and provincial transportation authorities, especially in light of the punishment Canada's weather regularly inflicts on paved surfaces. A Saskatoon-based firm is confronting that challenge, making it possible to optimize public spending on repairs and upgrades to roads. PSI Technologies Inc. has created new tools to enhance the assessment of a road's physical state, along with techniques for using recycled materials to rehabilitate and strengthen road structure.
