How does the City determine which streets and treatments to schedule for preventive maintenance work?
The appropriate maintenance treatment for a street is selected based on the street condition. In addition to visual inspections and nondestructive testing, software is used to perform a cost benefit analysis to ensure the treatments are applied at the right time in the pavement lifecycle. This allows the City to maximize available funding and ensure best results for the dollar. Effective and timely placement of the proper maintenance treatments can prevent much larger repair expenses in the future.
