By means of the Light Weight Deflectometer HMP LFG

you are able to purposefully manage and control your
compaction works and to improve the quality of your
construction.
This gives you confidence, saves time and money!

Self-monitoring
The Light Weight Deflectometer HMP LFG is especial-
ly suitable for in-house self-monitoring, due to the easy
handling and the immediately available measurement
results. This facilitates quick decisions to continue con-
struction work at the site.

Minimize your costs by avoiding unnecessary compac-

tion works but also optimize the quality of your con-
struction project.
Convince your customer by proofing the quality assur-
ance of your construction site. Prevent f. e. expensive
recourse claims because of subsidence damages.
Document your measured data directly at the site via
printout by means of the thermal printer or as proto-
col printout after transferring and reliable archiving the
measurement series onto your PC.
