NIGP 84512: Falling Weight Deflectometer System (Pavement Loading Device)

NIGP 84512 Falling Weight Deflectometer System (Pavement Loading Device) is an Item code that represents specialized equipment for nondestructive pavement structural evaluation. State and local governments procure these devices to assess pavement deflection and structural capacity without damaging the roadway surface — critical for highway maintenance planning, pavement rehabilitation decisions, and infrastructure condition documentation. The equipment measures how much a pavement surface deflects under a standardized impact load, data used to determine remaining pavement life and support rehabilitation funding requests. Purchasing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments of transportation and municipal public works departments responsible for maintaining road networks.
