EMU Pavement Management
Spalding DeDecker (SD) developed a campus-wide pavement management program, which included pavement inventory and evaluation, for the Eastern Michigan University (EMU) campus. EMU desired to determine their current maintenance plan deficiencies; determine where to focus repairs; and determine how much money to budget for the plan.
SD’s role:
- Performed a campus-wide pavement assessment
- Utilized proven techniques to prioritize problem areas
- Provided cost estimates anticipated for annual maintenance
- Developed a long-term pavement management program
The project consisted of on-site inspection and documentation of the PASER ratings for all campus pavement; utilizing pavement management software to input inventory information and analyze data; creating a 10-year repair plan program; and developing the pavement management report.
The pavement management program included the following:
- Condition Assessment
- Long-Range Repair Plans
- Condition Tracking
- Backlog Tracking
