Overview
TCR Engineering, a NABL ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited laboratory (NABLT0726MH18640) in Navi Mumbai, evaluates in-service roads and pavements. Field teams measure Pavement Condition Index, roughness, deflection by Benkelman Beam, skid resistance and road-marking reflectivity, with quality control aligned to the Indian Roads Congress framework for road and bridge works.
Pavement Condition Index. Non-destructive roughness measurement. Deflection measurement (Benkelman Beam and Falling Weight Deflectometer-compatible evaluation). Reflectivity of road markings. Skid resistance. The BMC Roads Department registration ChE/Rds/8292/NF dated 25 March 2026 covers Mumbai's municipal roads programme.
How TCR Evaluates Pavements
TCR evaluates in-service roads and pavements with a set of non-destructive field measurements: Pavement Condition Index, roughness, structural deflection, road-marking reflectivity, and skid resistance. The results feed maintenance planning and acceptance decisions on municipal and highway networks.
Deflection is measured by Benkelman Beam and Falling Weight Deflectometer-compatible evaluation to read the structural adequacy of the pavement, while roughness and Pavement Condition Index rate ride quality and surface condition. The programme runs as per the requirements of the Indian Roads Congress.
What TCR Measures
Each field measurement targets a specific aspect of pavement performance, from surface condition to structural adequacy.
| Measurement | What it establishes |
|---|---|
| Pavement Condition Index | Overall surface condition rating |
| Non-destructive roughness measurement | Ride quality and unevenness |
| Deflection (Benkelman Beam, FWD-compatible) | Structural adequacy of the pavement |
| Reflectivity of road markings | Night-time visibility of markings |
| Skid resistance | Surface friction and safety |
Quality Framework and Standards
Road-construction quality control follows the Indian Roads Congress framework, which governs material selection, process control, and acceptance testing on the road and bridge works TCR inspects.
| Standard | Scope |
|---|---|
| IRC:SP:11-1984 | Handbook for Quality Control for Construction of Roads and Runways |
| IRC:SP:57-2000 | Guidelines for Quality Systems for Road Construction |
| IRC:SP:47-1998 | Guidelines for Quality Systems for Road and Bridges |
Municipal Registration
The BMC Roads Department registration ChE/Rds/8292/NF dated 25 March 2026 covers Mumbai's municipal roads programme, giving TCR a civic-mandate route into the city's road inspection work.
