Selecting the Right Maintenance Treatment Sponsored by:Minnesota LTAP Center Presented by:Michael Marti, P.E. SRF Consulting Group, Inc. Dan Wegman, P.E. SemMaterials
Description/Purpose Timing Effects on various pavement distress Anticipated performance/service life Unit cost Roadway use/level of traffic Traffic control concerns Limitations Seasonal Availability of qualified staff and contractors Availability of quality materials Construction specifications For Each Maintenance TreatmentAn agency needs to define:
Right Treatment Depends on • Existing pavement • Type, structure, roughness, skid, distresses, climate, etc. • Environment • Climate, past & future traffic, noise, etc. • Life cycle costs • Construction, maintenance, rehabilitation, user-delay costs, impact on local businesses, vehicle repair, etc. • Available treatments • Construction requirements, performance, costs, capabilities of local contractors
Analysis Procedures for Most Effective Treatment • A number of procedures for determining cost effectiveness exist and should be used • Costshould be part of the decision process but not the only consideration • Use of decision trees is a viable method • Cost • Life Cycle • Pavement Management of Network • User Delay • Availability of Contractors • Availability of Materials Right Treatment, Right Time, Right Project Done Right!
Example of Selection Process • Determine Rating Factors • Assign “Importance Value” to Each Factor • Percentage (must total 100) • Rank each of the Available/Applicable Maintenance Treatments • Calculate Totals
Example of Selection Process 11-Year Old Pavement, 6000 ADT, Previously Seal Coated, L-Block Cracking, L-Rutting, L-Polished • Determine Rating Factors • Cost • How well it “fixes” distresses • Traffic Disruption (during maintenance) • Traffic Disruption (long term) • Assign “Importance Value” to Each Factor • Percentage (must total 100) • Rank each of the Available/Applicable Maintenance Treatments • Calculate Totals • Determine Rating Factors • Cost • How well it “fixes” distresses • Traffic Disruption (during maintenance) • Traffic Disruption (long term) • Assign “Importance Value” to Each Factor • Percentage (must total 100) • Rank each of the Available/Applicable Maintenance Treatments • Determine Rating Factors • Cost • How well it “fixes” distresses • Traffic Disruption (during maintenance) • Traffic Disruption (long term) • Assign “Importance Value” to Each Factor • Percentage (must total 100) • Determine Rating Factors • Cost • How well it “fixes” distresses • Traffic Disruption (during maintenance) • Traffic Disruption (long term)
Definition of Pavement Preservation The right treatment, At the right time, On the right project.
