Smarter Pavement Analysis with ARRB at ArabLab 2025

We are excited to be joining ArabLab 2025, scheduled from 23–25 September at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

This year, at Stall H2-C70, BCL will showcase advanced road analyzers that redefine how networks are studied and managed. One of the prominent names that will be with us is ARRB Systems, bringing its globally trusted analyzers: the Hawkeye 2000 Survey System and the iPAVe® Intelligent Pavement Assessment Vehicle.

The ArabLab 2025 Exhibition will be witnessing a diverse range of laboratory technologies. We at BCL are bringing our curated range of innovations to contribute to the platform. Joined by international suppliers, we will highlight how data-rich technologies are improving infrastructure reliability worldwide.

Hawkeye 2000: Multiple Sensors, One Platform

At this year’s ArabLab, one of the standout technologies we are bringing is ARRB’s Hawkeye 2000 Road Survey System. The platform blends advanced imaging and laser-based tools to deliver a high-definition understanding of road networks.

• Measures roughness, rutting and texture in a single run, ensuring road surfaces are assessed with consistency
• Detects cracks as small as 0.5 mm, helping engineers identify weaknesses before they spread
• Combines GNSS mapping with sharp imagery for accurate geometry and alignment data
• Gathers information at normal traffic speeds, removing the need for lane closures and traffic diversions
• Streams all survey results through Hawkeye Onlooker Live software, giving teams immediate access to insights for faster decisions

By unifying multiple sensors, the system supports lifecycle pavement management and equips asset owners with the depth of data needed to plan smarter interventions.

iPAVe: From Surface to Structural Condition

Since its adoption in 2015, the iPAVe® system has transformed how road networks are surveyed. Contracted by Roads and Maritime Services in New South Wales, Australia, the vehicle has covered over 36,500 km of roads and generated 3.6 million+ data records.

What makes iPAVe different?

• Collects structural and surface data in a single pass at traffic speeds
• Reduces the need for legacy methods like Benkelman Beam and Falling Weight Deflectometer
• Enhances safety by removing the requirement for frequent lane closures
• Provides continuous deflection measurement with far greater resolution than point-based surveys

These strengths enable asset managers to identify weak and strong pavement areas quickly and act before failures occur.

Proven Impact Of The Systems In Road Networks Field results underline how ARRB technologies deliver value:

• Up to 50% reduction in survey time on major highway projects
• Around 30% improvement in survey crew safety
• Early detection of structural problems invisible to surface-only surveys
• Significant financial advantages from faster cycles and fewer disruptions

Such results show how network-level pavement management, powered by Integrated Network Survey Solutions and the Intelligent Pavement Assessment Vehicle (iPAVe®), can extend road life while lowering long-term maintenance costs.

Catering To Regional and Global Momentum

The global pavement assessment sector is evolving in step with growing infrastructure investment. Automated survey solutions like the Intelligent Pavement Assessment Vehicle (iPAVe®) and Hawkeye 2000 are replacing slower, high-risk testing, ensuring more accurate decisions.

ARRB’s role in projects across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East demonstrates the adaptability of these analyzers. The Middle East, with its expanding transport networks, stands to gain considerably from Integrated Network Survey Solutions that deliver high-resolution pavement data supporting long-term asset sustainability.

Ready To See The Tech In Action?

We are arriving at the ArabLab with technologies that deliver efficiency, safety, and actionable road condition insights. At Stall H2-C70, our team along with the ARRB experts will be ready to demonstrate how advanced analyzers are changing the way pavement data is captured and applied.
