Should I have a pavement preservation program in place for my streets and/or roads?
A well-planned and executed pavement preservation program is vital to maintaining pavement conditions in fair to excellent ratings.
Are you aware that crack sealing is the most cost-effective (biggest bang for the buck) pavement preservation application?
Routine crack sealing will save an agency’s “emergency” maintenance expenses by reducing potholes and protecting the road’s sub-grade from failing due to unwanted water infiltration, and extending the life of asphalt and concrete pavements.
Are combination treatments (i.e., crack seal with a slurry application, cape seals) effective ways to extend budgets further?
Linking treatments together at the right time can make pavements last 40 years or more, and at a fraction of the cost of full-depth reclamation.
Why do most agencies not have a pavement preservation program?
Most agencies address their roadway network with the “worst first” approach while losing valuable service life on their “good” roads.
