Transforming Airport Pavement Strategies with ELMOD® 7!

Company Dynatest A/S
Date 13.01.2025

As the aviation industry grows and aircraft continue to increase in size and weight, a well-maintained runway becomes essential for everyone’s safety.

Dynatest, a pioneer in developing non-destructive pavement testing equipment, is proud to announce the launch of the software ELMOD® 7.

ELMOD stands for “Evaluation of Layer Moduli and Overlay Design.” This refers to the software’s capability to evaluate the properties of pavement layers and assist in designing overlays, which are critical components in the maintenance and optimization of airport infrastructure.

ELMOD® 7 offers the latest advancements in Aircraft Classification Rating (ACR) and Pavement Classification Rating (PCR), designed to meet the new mandatory classification from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

The new software ELMOD® 7 represents advanced pavement analysis technology, providing airlines with software to analyze the pavement condition and longevity of airport runways and taxiways through reliable, data-driven insights. ELMOD® 7 can determine pavement moduli, stresses, and strains for up to five layers.

The ELMOD software is used together with the Dynatest Heavy Weight Deflectometer. The HWD can apply a loading between 30-320kN, enabling it to simulate the industry’s maximum aircraft wheel loads and is used for quality control on existing and new pavement constructions.


Key Features and Benefits of ELMOD
® 7 for the Airline Industry:

  1. Compliance with the New ACR/PCR Standards: In alignment with the new classification, ELMOD® 7 offers the mandatory ACR and PCR classifications. This ensures that airfield operators meet the latest safety and operational criteria.
  2. Streamlined Data Integration: The software seamlessly integrates multiple data files, allowing airport authorities to perform extensive analyses within a unified framework, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of pavement evaluations.
  3. Enhanced Reporting Capabilities: Create detailed reports that are easy to share, supporting informed decision-making regarding maintenance planning.
  4. User-Friendly Interface: With an intuitive navigation structure, ELMOD® 7 enhances productivity by reducing time spent on data processing.

Dynatest cooperates with Fortbrand, a prominent US-based company specializing in the sale, lease, and financing of equipment for airports in both the USA and UK.

Airport authorities can now ensure compliance with global standards, enhance pavement management strategies, and ultimately safeguard the runway for future travel.

Dynatest invites interested parties in the airline industry to experience the new software ELMOD® 7.
