Pavement Management

Pavement reconstruction may be one of the largest capital expenses a facility may incur. Spalding DeDecker Associates, Inc. (SDA) offers a diverse range of Pavement Management services and provides the necessary tools, knowledge, and construction engineering experience required to implement a successful pavement management program. The benefit to Facility Managers. Performing repairs at the critical point in a pavements life where effort produces maximum benefit for dollars spent. Accordingly, a key role of any pavement mangement program is to develop a short-term and long-term pavement budget strategically aimed at programming dollars between maintenance and capital projects.

Our Pavement Management Program consists of several phases:

• Identify & Determine Condition of Pavement Assets
• Develop Financial Plans
• Develop & Implement Action Plans
• Follow-Up on Implementation

SDA successfully aids facility managers in the implementation of pavement management system goals, while achieving significant savings through the following methods:

PAVEMENT NETWORK ASSESSMENTS

Assessments are used to determine the pavement conditions and relative areas in square footage or acreage to be included the pavement management program. Areas of pavement are delineated and assigned a condition rating. Standard condition ratings are utilized to predict deterioration and determine repair budgets. This information is then entered into a database.

Data is collected and managed with computer programs such as Excel, Access, Micro PAVER, RoadSoft, or Cartegraph’s Pavement VIEW.

PAVEMENT NETWORK MANAGEMENT

When the initial pavement assessment is complete, SDA will assist in managing the pavement network to meet the desired pavement system goals. SDA maintains the database by incorporating new construction and changes which impact pavement condition and/or use. To achieve the significant savings that pavement management systems offer, and to keep data relatively accurate, re-assessment should occur every three years.
