National Partnership to Improve the Quality of Preventive Maintenance Treatment Construction & Data Collection Practices (PG Phase III)

This pooled-fund study is being developed to assist state highway agencies (SHAs) and Local Public Agencies (LPAs) in reviewing and developing pavement pavement preventive maintenance (PM) treatments which can advance their pavement preservation programs. This study is also supplementing ongoing data analysis of existing pavement test sections in Minnesota (National Road Research Alliance-MnROAD (NRRA-MnROAD)) and Alabama (National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT)) and support continued implementation activities established. Combining these efforts will establish a national construction and data collection effort of pavement PM treatments applied to roadways at the direction of the study’s Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). Participation in the study is being encouraged by SHAs, LPAs, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Lands Highway Division, academia and industry representatives. Collaboration with experts from these groups will help set criteria for identifying PM construction practices and data collection requirements, discuss optimal timing for placing of PM treatments and establishing the minimum number of pavement sections required for each type of PM treatment used for statistical analysis. Non-financial participants can provide technical knowledge and input; however, financial contributors will make final decision on treatments to be constructed. Using the outcome from the above collaborative activities, the study partners will initiate and monitor State, local, and Federal PM treatments and projects to develop preventive maintenance solutions (i.e. decision trees, toolboxes, etc.). Implementation of practical research results from other PM cooperative projects (i.e. NCAT, MnROAD, National Center for Pavement Preservation (NCPP)) will be used to access the impact of preventive maintenance treatments on extending service life of pavements. Lessons learned will be documented and shared along with information to assist in the updating of the national pavement preservation research roadmap.
