Mobile Concrete Technology Center: Equipment Loans
The FHWA Mobile Concrete Technology Center provides equipment loan for several pieces of equipment for the agencies to evaluate and determine if it meets their needs. This significantly increases the likelihood of adoption, because the state doesn't have to buy an expensive piece of equipment to find out it didn't meet their needs. The equipment loan can last from a few weeks to several months. Some of the equipment available for loan includes the following:
- Dowel Bar Alignment
- Pavement Thickness
- Ultrasonic Tomography
- Pull Out Strength
- Tensile Bond Strength
- Maturity Testing
- Match Curing
- Surface Resistivity
- Super Air Meter
- Box Test
- Calorimeter
- Microwave Water Content
- Coefficient of Thermal Expansion
