2. Sound Waves Save Roads

to repair	ремонтувати	enhancement	збільшення
to the tune of	в розмірі	to uncover	розкривати
to be underway	проводитись	to prevent	запобігати
quality	якість	educated	обгрунтований
robustly	міцно	a guess	припущення
to reveal	виявляти	to respond	відповідати
underneath	під	to suppose	припускати
to entail	викликати	previous	попередній

Every year European roads are built and repaired to the tune of several billion Euros. Intensive efforts are underway all over the world to get “more roads for your money” by developing better methods for both design and quality control of materials. One problem is that today there are no good methods for checking how robustly and safely the roads were built. Therefore they often don’t last as long as they were supposed to and more money has to go to road construction. But now a young scientist has developed a method where sound waves can reveal what a road looks like underneath and thereby show whether it is being properly built. According to the Swedish Road Administration, the method, which is expected to become the new standard, may entail major quality enhancements and cost savings. Damage to bridges, tunnels, dams, and nuclear power plants can be uncovered using this technology and dangerous accidents can thereby be prevented. Today most prognoses are based on educated guesses from previous experience, which often prove to be wrong. Since a road consists of many different materials – gravel, bitumen, air, water – it’s difficult to predict how it will respond to future traffic and environmental loads. Because roads, unlike buildings, for instance, are “built into” the ground, it’s hard to inspect them visually.
