  1. ROADS Services Training Group LOCAL AUTHORITY ROADS CONFERENCE 2014 Reforms, Challenges and Safety Treacys West County Hotel, Ennis, May 2014. 1

  2. Reforms, Challenges and Safety IPAG Guidance Paul Hardy Director exp| consulting

  3. IPAG • Joint committee :develop a pavement management approach for Irish Local Authorities • Reps from DTTS, LGMA and Local Authorities (urban and rural) • Guidance about to be publised • Today: overview, let you know what exists, and what next

  4. IPAG: Guidance Suite of Guidance Documents available to download from • https://lgmaext.laservices.ie/transportation/IPAG/default.aspx • Guidance is a start; will need training • Will evolve and improve with use • First cut at: Setting Standards for the Future

  5. IPAG Guidance: Section 1Asset Register • Provides guidance on how to structure an asset register • Recommends recording by • Asset e.g. Roadway • Type e.g. National Primary Roads • Asset e.g. Road Name/Number • Component e.g. Road Segment/XSP • Also includes associated assets, structures, drainage etc…

  6. IPAG Guidance: Section 2Network Referencing • Recommends how roads should be referenced to enable data to be stored against the network • Linear referencing • Cross sectional positioning • Covers both rural and urban context

  7. IPAG Guidance: Section 3Inventory & Data Management • recommends the inventory data that authorities should holdand provides guidance on data management

  8. IPAG Guidance: Section 4Routine Maintenance Management • recommends the use of a systems based approach to the management of routine maintenance. Based on: • identification, • categorisation, • prioritisation, • repair and • reporting of pavement defects. • recommends the records that should be kept to support pavement management.

  9. IPAG Guidance: Section 5:Condition Surveying & Rating Comprises of: • Part 1a: Rural Flexible Roads Manual# (Pavement Surface Condition Index) • 1b. Urban Flexible Roads Manual# (Pavement Surface Condition Index) • 1c. Concrete Roads Manual# (Pavement Surface Condition Index) • Part 2: Footway Condition Rating • Part 3: Drainage Condition Rating • # created by others in parallel with this project but coordinate to support the overall aims of IPAG

  10. IPAG Guidance: Section 5: Part 2Footway Condition Rating • provides data that can be used to: • Prioritise & programme footway renewals/resurfacing schemes • Record and report condition (locally and nationally)

  11. IPAG Guidance: Section 5: Part 2Footway Condition Rating • Photos illustrate linked to potential treatment

  12. IPAG Guidance: Section 5: Part 3Drainage Condition Rating

  13. IPAG Guidance: Section 5: Part 3Drainage Condition Rating

  14. IPAG Guidance: Section 6: Pavement Management Strategies • recommends how pavement management strategies should be developedincluding how to use asset data to aid • Identification of potential sites • Analysis of the options for treatment • Creation of short term programme of schemes • Creation of long term projection of funding needs.

  15. IPAG Guidance: Section 6: Pavement Management Strategies Step 1. Condition Surveys (Network Level) Based upon 5 broad recommended steps Step 2. Investment Need & Categorisation (Network Level) Step 3. Prioritisation (Network Level) Step 4. Site Inspection (Project Level) Step 5. Programme (Project Level)

  16. IPAG Guidance : Section 6Cost Projection Spreadsheet • Crude initial methods of showing potential effect of different budget on condition • A pilot , which will need testing as better condition data becomes available • Potentially powerfull tool … • EVENTUALLY

  17. IPAG Guidance: Section 7: Reinstatements • recommends records should be kept of utility company reinstatement. It refers specifically to those records required to assist with pavement management. • Regime of inspections • Specific records to be kept • Long term damages (enable from before and after costs.. Eventually)

  18. IPAG Guidance: Section 8:New Roads and Taking in Charge • Recommends methods to ensure that roads constructed by developers or contractors meet standards for ‘taking in charge’. • Guidance on inspections and checks to confirm construction depths and materials specifications are met • Most critically states what records and data developers should be required to hand over prior to ‘taking in charge’

  19. What Next • What: • IPAG : Promote the existence and purpose of the guidance • Authorities; Adoptionand use • Collectively; Refinement and improvement How: • Communication will be the key to obtaining benefit from this work • IPAG: provide clear and easy to access training • Authorities: constructive feedback on experience of adopting it
