Pavement Management Strategies + Services
Roadway maintenance is all about applying the right treatment to the right pavement at the right time. When you invest in your roads in a strategic and timely manner, it can extend their usable service lives while making the best use of limited public funds.
Inventory + Level of Service
We begin by discussing what your goals are for your street network. We look at current workflows and review your agency’s standards for street pavement design and construction/maintenance practices. Through visual or automated data collection, we assess roadway assets to develop a comprehensive inventory of your street system.
Strategies + Cost
We then establish a comprehensive toolbox of minor and major rehabilitation/renovation strategies and reconstruction alternatives appropriate for your team. This includes determining appropriate costs and thresholds used in the data analysis, projections, and life cycle costing modeling.
Our staff takes this information and develops sustainable maintenance/replacement schedules with annualized costs. We run several variations of scenarios to determine how to adjust the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) levels and associated impacts on funding levels.
With the majority of our Pavement Management team having worked directly for local, county, or state government agencies, we have “walked in your shoes” and understand your responsibilities and constraints.
Based on experience, we take those results, incorporate your funding situation, political structures, and approaches to handling roadway maintenance to develop a multi-year Capital Improvement Plan.
We understand what is realistic and beneficial to you and your agency and our skilled team will work alongside your staff to provide an adaptable Pavement Management Plan. With this customized decision-making framework, we can help you move your agency from reactive to proactive maintenance.
"Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution. It represents the wise choice of many alternatives."
