Pavement Management Basics and Benefits: A Strategy of Prevention

Rising materials costs have managers of infrastructure seeking better and more cost-effective ways to manage assets.

With these issues in mind, this article provides an overview of pavement maintenance and rehabilitation as the 2 principal treatments used to extend pavement life, as well as describing an effective pavement management system.
