The Light Weight Deflectometer for the dynamic load plate test was in extremely high demand at BAUMA 2016 in Munich.

During the trade fair, TERRATEST® was able to secure orders from international customers from England, Iceland, New Zealand, Poland, Israel, The Netherlands and Italy. From 11th - 17th April, over 3,400 exhibitors from almost 60 countries enticed around 580,000 visitors from 200 countries to experience the world's largest exhibition at the trade fair grounds in Riem, Munich. TERRATEST® exhibited the Light Weight Deflectometer from Berlin for the third consecutive time at BAUMA. TERRATEST® CEO, Frank G. Schulz, commented: “BAUMA was a roaring success for our Light Weight Deflectometer, we didn't anticipate such huge demand for our Light Weight Deflectometers.” He continued: “Furthermore, we had interesting talks with potential distributors, which is hugely promising. This will enable us to market the TERRATEST® Light Weight Deflectometer even more successfully internationally. From the very beginning, BAUMA has played an important role for our company.” The new BAUMA-models, “TERRATEST 4000 USB” and “TERRATEST 5000 BLU” with Bluetooth technology, were presented at the trade fair. At the upcoming BAUMA 2019, TERRATEST® will be represented once again with its own stand.

Some wired devices could get in the way of proper and quick testing in certain construction sites. In this case, a wireless light weight deflectometer proves to be more practical. Eurovia relies on TERRATEST's Bluetooth-enabled LWD because it can perform and complete dynamic load plate tests in about two minutes without a loading vehicle and a laboratory. The good thing ab

Eurovia Vinci recommends checking the natural soil using a light weight deflectometer before beginning construction. This way, you can avoid problems associated with poor soil compaction and bearing capacity and perform the necessary measures to improve the soil quality. You can use the light weight deflectometer 5000 BLU by TERRATEST throughout the construction site, especially in hard to reach places like backfills and ditches.

Eurovia Vinci is able to optimize its compaction works and help its clients save money daily with a Bluetooth light weight deflectometer. The intelligent device comes with voice navigation and an app for the ultimate wireless operation. Measurements are transferred via Bluetooth to the measuring computer, tablet, or smartphone from the load plate. This can be beneficial to protect the integrity of measuring computers, which may malfunction when placed directly to mechanics or exposed to vibrations and extreme conditions in construction sites.
