Pavement Design
It is not just a matter of defining structure thicknesses; it also requires understanding the nature and quality of materials and mixes, as well as determining the most suitable use of technologies and material sources.
Pavement design consultancy
Pavement design aims to ensure the service life and functionality of pavement structures, by understanding the specific requirements for which the design is being developed.
A good pavement design ensures the optimization of resources during both construction and operation. This provides a future advantage by preventing premature maintenance or repairs.
Pavement design encompasses numerous considerations and constraints that must be addressed with sufficient expertise and vision for correct execution.
The designed pavement structure must ensure that the different layers of the structure receive stresses appropriately to achieve elastic behavior, which guarantees the extension of the service life.
At Strinso, experts in pavement consultancy and evaluation, we focus on an integrated approach to pavement design, combining experience and technology in the selection of pavement types and their economic and service variables.
Benefits of a good pavement design
Ensure the performance and service life of the structure.
Analyze pavement deterioration based on climate and traffic requirements and evaluate future interventions for the structure.
Economic optimization in the selection of materials and layer thicknesses for the pavement structure.
Study rehabilitation activities for the pavement structure.
Our pavement design is based on clearly determining the requirements of the structure to be designed and analyzing different options in terms of investment, always seeking the social, environmental, economic, and engineering benefits of our clients' requests.
To carry out these processes, it is necessary to establish strategies for problem identification, determine the road condition, and consequently propose the required treatment, ensuring the execution of preventive maintenance and avoiding the rehabilitation of the structure.
We have performed flexible and rigid pavement designs, bringing our expertise and quality to the design process and meeting needs comprehensively by offering all-in-one packages for pavement management and consultancy, becoming an ideal ally in all the processes required for road infrastructure project execution.
Do you want to ensure safety and efficiency with an optimal pavement design?
Special attention is given to:
Traffic
Load magnitude, load configuration representative of projected traffic and its expected repetitions, travel speed, tire inflation pressure, and its contact area with the pavement surface.
Environmental conditions
Rainfall precipitation, air temperature, drainage of the analysis area, longitudinal and transverse slopes.
Subgrade
Strength, stability, density, moisture content, and degree of confinement.
Materials
To be used in the pavement structure:
- Granular base and subbase: Strength, stability, density, moisture content, structure, degree of confinement, availability, and procurement cost.
- Surface course: Strength, density, durability, availability, and cost.
Level of Service (LOS)
Safety, comfort, durability, maintenance activities during the service period, and construction methods.
Costs of
Construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation.
Design methods
Theoretical concepts used to predict failure parameters, and the methods for evaluating the properties of the materials or mixtures that will be part of the pavement structure, must be taken into consideration.
Stages of pavement design
Pre-feasibility
- Preliminary evaluation of the most viable paving alternatives for your project.
- Analysis of technical, economic, and environmental factors.
- Definition of the basic design criteria.
Feasibility
- Detailed study of the paving alternatives selected during the pre-feasibility stage. - Evaluation of the technical and economic feasibility of the project. - Preparation of a comprehensive feasibility report.
Detailed Engineering
Development of the final pavement design, including: - Structural design - Material selection - Asphalt or concrete mix design - Technical specifications - Construction plans and details

Testimonials
What Our Clients Say
A team of professionals
“My experience with Strinso has greatly benefited the company through the timely delivery of measurement services and reports. I recommend Strinso because of their highly knowledgeable team of professionals and their cutting-edge equipment, which enable them to deliver high-quality results in pavement analysis.”
Reinel Leonardo Monroy Ibáñez
Project Director - Doble A Ingeniería S.A.S - Bogotá, Colombia
Specialized, High-Quality Consultancy
“We have worked with Strinso on the studies for 5G Concession highway projects; their advisory has consistently been specialized and high-quality, adding significant value to our pavement studies. They possess an expert team and their own equipment to execute and analyze the results of the necessary field work. A key recommendation: tender engineering projects are unique, as they are often executed within relatively short timeframes, during which many variations occur. These variations require great flexibility to be incorporated quickly. It is essential to keep the client's needs in mind when handling such tender projects.”
