2024 Managing Your Road - not just the Pavement
Workshop Objectives
Managing a road system is far more complex than simply managing by pavement condition; it is only one factor in the final decision. This workshop will cover the identification and management of defects in six functional areas that are financial and legal risks for the municipality. Participants will learn to interpret the ratings in the Inventory Manual for Municipal Roads; to recognize the implications of defects found within the road allowance with respect to liability exposure and performance; to make decisions regarding road rehabilitation treatments; to differentiate between structural and non-structural defects, and how to relate the consequences of road rehabilitation treatments to capital budgets and programming.
