ASSET MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW What? Why? How? Inventory Identify deficiencies & needs Develop a strategy to improve Take action Record and evaluate the results Repeat!
TRANSPORTATION ASSETS Pavements Signs Sidewalks Guardrails Drainage (culverts) Bridges
PAVEMENTS
PAVEMENT CONDITION VS. PAVEMENT AGE
RUTTING Causes Movement of subgrade Inadequate compaction Inadequate asphalt mix design Studded tires
PROGRESSIVE DETERIORATION - CRACKING Once cracks form, water enters the crack. Water is then able to penetrate the base causing the limestone to swell. This destroys the strength and load bearing capabilities of the base and eventually the asphalt. Alligator cracking begins to happen once the base becomes unstable and ultimately potholes will form.
TRANSVERSE CRACKING Causes Poor foundation Thin surfacing Freezing and thawing Heavy vehicles
LONGITUDINAL CRACKING
BLOCK CRACKING
ALLIGATOR CRACKING
RAVELING
POLISHING
FLUSHING/BLEEDING
PATCHING
POTHOLING
PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS 1. a system to regularly collect highway condition data; 2. a computer database to sort and store the collected data; 3. an analysis program to evaluate repair or preservation strategies and suggest costeffective projects to maintain highway conditions.
PAVEMENT CONDITION 10, 100, or Good 1, 10, or Poor
NEEDS WHAT DO YOU HAVE? IN WHAT CONDITION? Road inventory (BIA IRR) Pavement rating (BIA IRR) - Road dimensions lane width, shoulder width, surface type, year last maintained - Road conditions pavement, subgrade, drainage, PASER - Traffic counts (ADT)
ASSET MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE CHOICES Roadsoft(Michigan TTAP) StreetSaver(Metropolitan Transportation Commission from San Francisco Bay Area) http://www.mtcpms.org/products/index.html MicroPAVER(US Army Corps of Engineers, APWA) http://www2.apwa.net/about/sig/micropaver/ PCI ASTM Standard D6433-99 iworq(private) http://www.iworq.com/pavement-managementsoftware/ RIFDS(BIA planning to develop, coming soon???)
ELECTRONIC RATING SYSTEMS Many vendors Pros: highly precise equipment and data Cons : high cost, vendor driven
VISUAL RATING SYSTEMS Many vendors and agency programs PASER, BIA, others Pros inexpensive, owner driven Cons judgment based
METHODS FOR MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR Preventative maintenance crack seal, fog seal Rehabilitation chip seal, seal coat, thin overlays Reconstruction structural overlay to full depth reconstruction
CRACK SEALING/FOG SEAL
SLURRY SEALING / SEAL COAT
CHIP SEAL
MILL AND OVERLAY
DEVELOP STRATEGIES The two easiest strategies are to do nothing and to remedy everything. Evaluating the outcomes of each of these remedies will set the bookends for evaluating How to run remedy scenarios Use all remedies and let program optimize 10- year plan Use budget as constraints Use prevent maintenance only (cheapest) Use only rehabilitation and reconstruction (most expensive) Blend and tweak as appropriate to optimize for your network
EXAMPLE CURRENT PAVEMENT CONDITION (TULALIP TRIBES OWNED ROADS) FAIR PAVEMENT 11% POOR PAVEMENT 4% FAILED PAVEMENT 0.1% EXCELLENT PAVEMENT 3% GOOD PAVEMENT 82% Tribe/BIA road network, 85 miles, primarily 2-lane
NO ACTION PAVEMENT CONDITION AFTER 10 YEARS NO ACTION (TULALIP TRIBES OWNED ROADS) POOR PAVEMENT 56% FAILED PAVEMENT 7% GOOD PAVEMENT 4% FAIR PAVEMENT 34% No Action
MAINTENANCE STRATEGY AT 500K PAVEMENT CONDITION AFTER 10 YEARS (TULALIP TRIBES OWNED ROADS) FAIR PAVEMENT 8% POOR PAVEMENT 3% EXCELLENT PAVEMENT 1% GOOD PAVEMENT 88% Maintenance Strategy at $500K per year (Slurry seals and crack sealing)
MAINTENANCE STRATEGY AT 1.5M PAVEMENT CONDITION AFTER 10 YEARS (TULALIP TRIBES & NON-TULALIP TRIBES OWNED ROADS) GOOD PAVEMENT 64% FAIR PAVEMENT 6% POOR PAVEMENT 1% EXCELLENT PAVEMENT 29% Maintenance Strategy at $1.5M per year (Overlays, Slurry seals and crack sealing)
REMAINING SERVICE LIFE (RSL)
IMPLEMENTATION Select projects Should be done based on a review of the roads that are ready for a specific remedy (example). So, you may want to make selection based on other factors such as ADT, economic development, utility work, complaints, more detailed field review, etc.
IMPLEMENTATION Engineering and construction Look at unique situations and opportunities for the most cost effective remedy, i.e. Recycled Asphalt, Warm Mix Asphalt, etc. Check with local, state, and county DOTsand public works departments.
IMPLEMENTATION Recheck costs Engineering, construction bid documents (don t forget to include things such as sign replacements, guardrail, culvert, and other inventory items in the project areas that you can refine the inventory data and evaluate for replacement or repair as part of pavement project), construction, and construction management.
RECORD AND REPEAT! Record results and update inventory! BIA IRR Pavement management system Don t forget! Update remedy costs in PMS Update projected results Report to Council! Repeat annually!
