and reactive repairs

Issues
What is pavement preservation?
What is preventive maintenance?
What is corrective maintenance?
When should these actions be taken?
Are these activities effective?
If so, then why doesn’t everyone have a
pavement preservation program?
Definitions
Preventive Maintenance
Corrective Maintenance
Pavement Preservation
Pavement Rehabilitation
Preventive Maintenance
The planned strategy of cost effective treatments
to an existing roadway system and its
appurtenances that preserves the system,
retards future deterioration, and maintains or
improves the functional condition of the system
(without increasing structural capacity).
- AASHTO’s Standing Committee on Highways
Preventive Maintenance
Planned
Performed on good
pavements
Contributes to longterm performance
Examples: Fog Seal,
Chip Seal, Thin HMA
Overlay
Corrective Maintenance
Reactive
Performed on failing
pavements
Does not contribute to
long-term performance
Examples: Patching,
Pothole Repair
Pavement Preservation
The sum of all activities undertaken to provide
and maintain serviceable roadways; this
includes corrective maintenance and preventive
maintenance, as well as minor rehabilitation
projects

Preservation
Pavement Rehabilitation
Work undertaken to extend the service life of an
existing pavement. This includes the
restoration, placing an overlay, and/or other
work required to return an existing roadway to
a condition of structural and functional
adequacy.

Pavement Condition
Pavement Condition can be rated using any
number rating systems, including:
Pavement
PCI = 100 is New/Excellent and PCI = 0 is Failed
Present
Condition Index (PCI)
Serviceablity Index (PSI)
PSI = 5 is New and PSI = 0 is Failed
Used in the AASHTO Design Methodology
International
Roughness Index (IRI)
Rating is Inches/Mile and is automatically recorded

Philosophy of Pavement
Preservation
Applying the right treatment
. . . To the right pavement
. . . At the right time
Benefits of a Pavement
Preservation Program
Higher customer satisfaction
Better informed decisions
Improved strategies and
techniques
Improved pavement condition
Costs savings
Increased safety
Better Informed
Decisions
Program relies on proper treatment
selection and treatment timing
Need information to make
decisions
Successful programs have been
integrated with Pavement
Management Systems (PMS)
Improved Pavement
Condition
Preventive maintenance helps to preserve a
pavement and extend its performance
Overall condition of network improves
Fair,
Poor, and Failed Pavements are
reconstructed and returned to a high pavement
condition
Excellent and Good Pavements are kept in high
condition

shifting to preventive maintenance
strategies
Forms of cost savings
Less
expensive treatments
Longer pavement life
Reduction of user delay costs

Increased Safety
Safety is the #1 priority of users
Explicit benefits
Improved
surface friction
Fewer defects
Implicit benefits
Better
pavement condition
Fewer and less disruptive repairs
Additional Benefits
Agencies have a stable budget
Agencies have stable workforce
Contractors have stable workforce
Not affected by upswings and
downswings
Current Funding Status
In the past, eligibility for Federal
funding required that the pavement
be improved structurally
Recent highway bills have changed
the way preventive maintenance is
funded
Challenges to
Implementation
Agencies that have implemented a
preventive maintenance program
report extremely positive results.
Why isn’t everyone doing it?
Barriers, both real and perceived...
Public Perceptions
Public averse to steering
maintenance dollars toward
pavements in good condition
Agencies more likely to receive
complaints about specific defects
than overall network
Need to educate the public about
new philosophy
Management
Perceptions
Need commitment from
management to succeed
Maintenance not traditionally given
a high priority
Need to create awareness of
benefits
Personnel changes disrupt
continuity

So what is Pavement
Management ?
Systematic method for routinely collecting,
storing, and retrieving decision-making data
needed to make maximum use of limited
dollars
It also creates a set of steps or computer
routines for quickly accessing the data to
arrive at educated decisions
