ViaTech AS

ViaTech is a Norwegian company working in Mechatronics and working into manufacturing of products for friction measurement, pavement scanning, and asset (road corridor) mapping. Viatech is working directly with Highways and Aviation authorities in Norway and through partner network in different countries like Sweden, Denmark, Poland, India, Philippines, Mexico etc. for various projects in highways and airports.

There 3 major products viz

ViaPPS – Used for studying pavement condition needed for checking construction quality and estimating cost of maintenance.

Via3DMapper – Used for capture road corridor and asset mapping.

ViaFriction – Needed to measure friction value, an essential parameter related to safety and for prevention of accidents.

ViaPPS is used for mapping of highways / runway pavement distress which can occur due to heavy traffic of vehicles / aircrafts. This heavy traffic can leads to pavement distress such as cracking, rutting, ravelling, bleeding etc which if not repaired in time, it can lead to pavement failure.

Hence timely mapping of pavement distress and planning a preventive maintenance is a key.

The unique selling point of our systems are:

Ease in Operation: Easy to operate with automatic data processing tools for pavement parameters and road geometry.

Capture multiple data in single run: Can capture corridor data too in a single run which gives scope for capture of additional features / asset inventory

Data compatibility: Data can be exported into. las / .laz and other 3D point cloud compatible format

Support: Enhanced remote support capabilities

Inhouse developed system: As system is developed inhouse by ViaTech, you always get scope for flexibility

Friction is measured by fixed slip / variable slip method and by spraying a layer of water (0.5mm for highways and 1mm for runways) in front of measuring wheel. It’s measured by longitudinal force in continuous friction measurement system.

ViaTech has supplied its projects to road and aviation authorities from Norway, Denmark, Poland, Lithuania, USA etc and having private customers all around.

ViaTech was founded in 1997 and is based out of Kongsberg, an industrial town from South – East Norway.
