and Preservation Activities

Transcription

1 Pavement Preservation and Preservation Activities at the National Level Stephen R. Mueller, P.E. Pavement and Materials Engineer Federal Highway Administration 26th Regional Local Road Conference October 26, 2011 Rapid City, SD

2 Without Pavement, We Would Be Stuck in the Mud!

3 Topics to be discussed: 1) Pavement Preservation and Asset Management Concepts 2) and Our Activities in Pavement Preservation 3) Useful Resources 4) 2010 LTAP Center Director Survey Results

4 Less Than 100 Years Ago

5 We ve Come a Long Way

6 4 Million Miles of Roads 600, Bridges

7 National Statistics: 3,963,262 miles of Roads

8 Statistics We Should Know: Federal = 3% State = 20% Local = 77% 2/3 are Paved (1/3 Unpaved) 94% of Paved have an Asphalt Surface

9 Society Depends on Infrastructure SOCIAL INTERACTIONS ECONOMIC TRANSACTIONS INFRASTRUCTURE Roads, Bridges, Airports, Water Systems, Wastewater Systems, Gas, Electric, Telephones, Waterways, Coastal Facilities, Parks, Etc.

10 National Surface Transportation Financing Commission Report Average US Household Expenditures 18% for Transportation ti

11 The Stakes are LARGE! $2 Trillion Investment in Transportation Infrastructure. There are MANY owners. There is shared expertise. Our Country DEPENDS on Our Success!!!

12 Transportation Asset Management RESOURCES Preservation Operations Capital Safety Other Improvement

13 Motivation for Asset Management Funding Constraints Aging System Increasing User Demands Loss of Senior Experienced Staff Public Demands on Government Accountability Return-on-Investment

14 Asset Management Extends the life of existing facilities Retains the value of an asset and its ability to perform as designed Effective Pavement Management and Preservation provides: Long term cost savings Less disruption to the traveling public Improves the overall network condition Reductions in environmental impacts

15 The Federal Role: Promote uniformity, quality, and safety aspects of highway construction ti and maintenance. Develop, promote, and provide new technologies and training. Stewardship of the Federal-aid aid program and its investments.

16 Vision > Mission Our Agency and our transportation system are the best in the world. Improve Mobility on our Nation s Highways through National Leadership, Innovation, and Program Delivery.

17 Pavement & Materials Program Process to Deliver National Pavement Network That Is: Safe Cost Effective Long Lasting Effectively Maintained Develop Plan Pavement and Materials Program Deliver Results

25 Pavement Preservation Doing the right thing... to the right pavement. at the right time... TO KEEP THE GOOD ROADS GOOD!

26 The Pavement Preservation Concept Original Pavement Very Good Good Fair Poor Rehabilitation Trigger Very Poor Time (Years) Federal Highway Administration

27 Which Costs Less???

33 Stresses and Strains -- but Preservation is Non-Structural!

34 Preservation Activities - Examples Asphalt: Chip Seals Fog Seals Slurry Seals Surface Seals Micro-Surfacing Thin Overlays Profile Milling Crack Sealing PCC: Joint Resealing Crack Sealing Spall Repair Dowel Bar Retrofit Full and Partial Depth Repair Diamond Grinding

35 Preventive Maintenance Pav vemen nt Con dition Treatments LAST LONGER When applied at the Right Time! Reactive Maintenance Time

36 Benefits of Preservation Improved Customer Satisfaction Keeps them (and you) happy. Lowers User and Agency Costs in the Long-Term Saves S them (and you) money. Improved Safety Keeps them (and you) safer. ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE!

37 Does Preservation Make Sense?

60 Section 3 Is the pavement preservation message adequately communicated to your local government customers? Do you have any other comments on pavement preservation that you would like to share with ih the Expert Task Group? Please provide your contact information.

61 1. Is the pavement preservation message adequately communicated to your local government customers? Responses YES NO NOT SURE 39% 46% 15%

62 2. Do you have any other comments on pavement preservation that you would like to share with the Expert Task Group? 12 Comments 1. Request for Spanish Language publications/training 2. There is still institutional inertia to be overcome 3. PP not a big issue in our State t 4. PP is a growing issue in our State 5. PP Training is embedded in our other training 6. Need help with unpaved surfaces

63 LTAP Survey Observations (1/3) Most common training in area of Chipseal and Hot Mix Asphalt Least Common in the area of White Topping and Asset Management Training courses need to kept to one day or less Self Directed Webinars are the most beneficial i to local l agencies

64 LTAP Survey Observations (2/3) LTAP barrier to providing training is identifying gqualified instructors (32%) Local Agencies have not requested PP training from LTAPs (34%) PP Check List Series is most valuable publication/material for Local Agencies Many LTAP centers are not providing key PP web links on their hi sites

65 LTAP Survey Observations (3/3) 80% of LTAPs indicated there are unmet or unknown needs in PP training More than 50% of LTAPs indicated that the PP message was not adequately communicated to Local Agencies

66 LTAP Training Recommendations Promote the need for PP Pavement Management System key to successful PP program Training Courses one day or less Utilize Web Based Training (WBT) Identify qualified instructors
