It is hard to imagine road construction sites in Germany without the use of Light Weight Deflectometers. Every

day thousands of civil engineering companies count on the advantages of this handy and precise “Do It Yourself

Compaction Test“. Within two minutes you can determine the quality of compaction, even in areas that are dif-

ficult to access, like utility trenches and backfills. Thus, the site manager can take quick decisions, in order to

conduct compaction work cost-effectively and profitably, while ensuring top construction quality.

Quotation from ASTM E2835-11:

“Deflections may be either correlated directly to pavement performance or used to determine in-situ material

characteristics of the pavement foundation layers. Some uses of the data include quality control and quality assu-

rance of compacted layers, and for structural

evaluation of load carrying capacity.“

Provide evidence of compact-

ion quickly and efficently.

Count on the cost-effective

testing method with the

Light Weight Deflectometer

TERRATEST 3000 GPS. Correct handling

of TERRATEST 3000 GPS is easy to learn!

TERRATEST 3000 GPS is produced in highly

modern CNC-based production centers –

in Germany, of course. Its material and the

high-quality manufacture make the device

largely resistant against environmental

impact on the construction site.

Made in Germany

As an expert for Light Weight Deflectometers TERRATEST develops and designs innovative soil testing devices

based on the needs of our customers – such as capacity, efficiency and suitablity for construction sites. TERRA-

TEST offers a complete and extensive product range for compaction tests with the Light Weight Deflectometer.

The Light Weight Deflectometer TERRATEST 3000 GPS has proved its worth worldwide more than 1000 times over

many years. It is currently in use on all continents of the earth. Thanks to the high quality standards of our

devices, their extensive equipment and excellent manufacture, we enjoy

a high level of recognition among our customers. If with the German

Army in Afghanistan, during urban construction in Berlin or while buil-

ding the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway – wherever earth-

works, road construction or civil engineering are at stake, the great

qual i ty of the sturdy and precise test ing instruments f rom

TERRATEST is highly appreciated.

Made in GermanyHigh-quality manufacture – In-house development

Page 9: LWD Brochure TerraTest

TERRATEST calibrates Light Weight Deflectometers with the calibration

system “CS 01“, developed and constructed by TERRATEST and accredited

by the German Federal Road Research Institute (BASt). That means short

reaction times between production, calibration, service and dispatch.

“For more than 15 years I have been working with

Light Weight Deflectometers. All my know-how

manifests itself in TERRATEST 3000 GPS,

a sophisticated concept suitable for daily use

on construction sites“, Frank G. Schulz,

general manager of TERRATEST GmbH, Berlin.

The operation of TERRATEST 3000 GPS is intuitive and extremely user-friendly. During development and con-

struction we paid attention to faulty measurements and made them practically impossible through an internal

plausibilty check. This ensures that one can perform precise tests and easily operate the device in a professional

manner. The well-arranged control panel of the electronic system makes testing on construction sites with TER-

RATEST 3000 GPS effective, quick und inexpensive.

Intuitive Menu Guidancefor quick, uncomplicated compaction tests

1. 2. 3.Place down load plate Perform test Print measured data

When switching on the device,

TERRATEST 3000 GPS automati-

cally checks the sensor con-

nection, battery charge as well

as proper functioning of GPS

and chip card and shows their

status on the display.

By pressing the start button

again, one is automatically

directed to the measuring menu

and will be asked to start with a

first pre-load.

After each measurement, the

display shows the settlement in

mm as well as the correspon-

ding settlement curve.

After the third measurement

Evd-value (dynamic deflection

module) as well as s/v value

(relation between settlement

and settlement speed) will be

displayed.

The sequence of the measuring process below shows the user-

friendly execution of the test, which can be printed

immediately on the construction site, thanks to the integrated

mini-printer. At the same time the measured data is saved on a

chip card for later management on your PC. Like that, you can trans-

fer all data to your PC in no time and start the evaluation

process.

Page 11: LWD Brochure TerraTest
Page 12: LWD Brochure TerraTest

All tests are saved automatically on a chip card, simply

insert the card and the data can be transferred to the PC

immediately. And so that the card doesn’t get lost on the

construction site, we have willfully chosen a chip card in the

size of a credit card.

12

To be able to document testing results directly at the construction site, the integrated mini-printer allows you to

print the measured data immediately and on the spot. Additionally to the Evd-value, the three settlement curves,

the maximum settlements with the settlement speed as well as the GPS coordinates will be shown. Later, every

test can be printed as an A4-sized record from your PC.

For saving important additional information regarding

the construction site, like altitude or type of soil, the

device is also equipped with a text input function.

Thanks to this text input function, handwritten notes

and sketches belong to the past.

Page 13: LWD Brochure TerraTest

While testing, the TERRATEST-GPS-System determines and saves the coordinates of the particular testing

point (when GPS is turned on). At the touch of a button the measurement can later be shown on your PC in a

Google® Earth satellite picture with the measured value, date and time. The GPS coordinates will automatically

be converted in Gauss-Krüger coordinates, so that measurements can also be directly uploaded to CAD-plans.

Thus, individual tests can be accurately allocated to particular locations.

The analysis of the testing results can easily be performed with the TERRATEST software. You can create indi-

vidual data records as well as a statistical analysis of the entire testing area as specified in ASTM E2835-11.

In this way all, testing results are analyzed

and archived automatically and necessary self-

monitoring is achieved.

Any commercial use of Google® Earth involves

costs. However, since our software is already

linked to Google® Earth, there is no need to in-

stall Google® Earth on your PC. TERRATEST

has concluded a contract of use with Google®,

therefore you don’t need to pay the fees for

commercial use of Google® Earth.

Static and dynamic plate load tests differ from

each other especially in the load speed and the

pressure exerted on the ground. Therefore,

there is no constant correlation between the

parameters obtained through the static test and

the Evd-value. In order to obtain a relatively

precise correlation, we suggest to perform a

specific correlation test for each site.

To determine correlation values for the required

backfill material, we advise you to follow

the procedure below:

After the first phase of compaction work has

been completed, perform a static plate load

test. Make sure that the loading vehicle leaves

the area very carefully to avoid any ground

disturbances. Afterwards, determine the water

content of the backfill materials.

Then, in a circle around this first testing point, carry out eight dynamic plate load tests, four 30cm and four 60cm

away from the first testing point, each with a 45 degree distance to the next.

The entire procedure must be repeated at other points of the test area. The number of required test

sequences, to be performed in succession along the compaction line, depends on the size of the

construction site. However, you must perform at least three test sequences at a distance of 20 meters from

each other. If the water content at the different test points does not vary widely, compare the mean values of the

measured Evd values with the mean values of the parameters obtained through the static test. Ignore the

highest and lowest test results for the calculation of the mean Evd value. Consider only the four

results which show parameters close to each other.

After having determined the correlation values in this way, you can perform all other tests with the Light Weight

Deflectometer, as long as the foundation soil remains the same. The correlation procedure should be performed

by contractor and client, so that they can collectively agree on using the Light Weight Deflectometer as their

standard test method.

During the entire testing procedure,the electronics remain connetedand attached to CARRELLO.

“CARRELLO“ was designed for comfortable testing on the construction site. An

application has been filed to register its design as an EU Community design.

The apparatus enables easy handling of your TERRATEST 3000 GPS without

having to carry it across the construction site. To do so, the complete

mechanism is hooked up under the angled handles of the load plate

and hauled across the construction site. The guide rod of the loading device is

locked and fixed.

The measurement electronics remain connected to

the load plate during the entire testing process and

can be operated conveniently at waist level. Like

that, your TERRATEST 3000 GPS remains constantly

ready to use. For testing, the load plate will simply

be placed on the ground without having to lift, carry

and rewire the device for each test. After testing,

the mechanism is hooked up under the angled

handles of the load plate again and hauled comfortably

to the next testing point. In this way, the Light

Weight Deflectometer becomes a real light Weight

Deflectometer. Its handling will be easy and

comfortable, even across long distances.
