Challenges System Size and Condition Funding Approach to Pavement Management
The Old Way… • Focus on Rehabilitation and Reconstruction • Reactive and political • Results showed limited improvement to the system pavement condition
In Ten Years… • By the year 2017 the County’s roads would require almost total reconstruction
Pavement Preservation Strategy • Change “Worst First” Past Practice • Perform Life Cycle Analysis • Promote Preservation First
Maintenance Strategy • Develop technical expertise • Encourage innovation • Understand Systems Approach
Pavement Preservation Preventive Maintenance • Prolongs the life of the road • Lowers the cost of maintaining the road
Treatment Options…Our Tool Box • Crack Sealing • Fog Seals • Rejuvenating Seals • Slurry Seals • Micro Seals • Chip Seals • Asphalt Rubber Chip Seals • Thin Overlays
Remaining service life • Remaining service life in 10 years if all county roads if no preventive maintenance is performed
Comparison – Old and New Strategies Old = $9,000,000 New = $7,600,000 250 Mile Years $36,000/Mile Year 584 Mile Years $13,000/Mile Year
