DCP is generally used in pavement foundation layer construction QA process and can measure soil properties up to about 2 meters deep.

LWD and FWD tests are performed by obtaining plate deflections under dynamic impulse loading.

A trial installation can be constructed to check if damage to the geotextiles has occurred after placement and compaction of the aggregate.
