Distinctive to Boudreau Engineering, Inc. is its unique position in the market as a premier provider of resilient modulus testing capabilities. This new technology lends itself to mechanistic design procedures, which is rapidly replacing the existing empirical method of design. Determining mechanistic parameters such as resilient modulus is far superior to empirically based parameters, such as CBR, because the designer can accurately determine as well as model stresses and strains that directly relate to performance prediction models. Additionally, the fact that a subgrade resilient modulus is less expensive than a CBR test, can be completed more rapidly, requires less bulk material and provides accurate mechanistic information about the structural behavior of the material describes only a few of the factors that support the transition to resilient modulus.

Specialized Laboratory Testing - Committed to the exacting standards adopted by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), and developed under the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) study, Boudreau Laboratories performs resilient modulus testing of bound and unbound materials for use as layers in a pavement structure.

Pavement Evaluation and Design - Using non-destructive testing techniques, visual surface distress surveys, destructive testing (coring/boring operations) and materials characterization, Boudreau Engineering professionals accurately and efficiently determine appropriate thickness recommendations for new design, maintenance and rehabilitation design, likely cause of premature failure, and life-cycle cost analyses of alternative design/construction options.

Pavement Construction Quality Management - Timely submittals of complete and accurate quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) data is important for most projects, and critical for Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) projects. Boudreau Engineering's Quality Management Program is based upon FAA's General Provision 110 program requirements.

Pavement Information Management - Managing critical transportation assets has become increasingly scrutinized in recent years. Managers of large commercial airports, networks of general aviation airports, multi-site trucking facilities, county or city public works departments, each share similar responsibilities: maintaining their pavement network to an appropriate level of service within an existing budget. Boudreau Engineering provides consultation to assist managers in the selection of appropriate computer-based pavement management tools, as well as with the initial implementation and continuing technical assistance of the selected system.

Training and Development - As demand has increased, Boudreau Engineering has engaged in areas of technology transfer via specialized training seminars and programs. Recently developed technologies and the ever-changing evolution of these technologies, have challenged the industry in educational awareness. Boudreau Engineering's strong and involved management has developed a unique expertise and understanding of the theoretical importance of the changes as well as a practical approach in the implementation of these technological advances.
