Readiness check

Are you preserving the right pavements at the right time?

Pavement preservation only pays when the right treatment lands on the right road at the right time, which is early, while the pavement is still in good shape. Spend it on a failed road and it is gone in a season. Answer for the network or project you are planning. The score is computed on your device; add an email only if you want the treatment-selection guide sent over.

1. Do you have a current condition assessment (PCI or equivalent) for the pavements in question?Yes, we rate condition and plan from itWe eyeball itNo condition data

2. Are you matching the treatment to the distress and the remaining life, not a one-size approach?Yes, treatment is selected from condition and distress typeWe mostly do the same treatment everywhereNo selection logic

3. Are you treating good and fair pavements first (worst-first spends the budget the fastest)?Yes, we preserve good roads to keep them out of reconstructionWe chase the worst roads with preservation dollarsNo strategy

4. Are cracks sealed before a surface treatment goes over them?Yes, crack sealing is done first so water is out of the sectionSometimes, not consistentlyNo

5. Is the pavement a preservation candidate at all, or does it actually need mill-and-overlay or reconstruction?Yes, we screen out failed pavements that need rehab, not preservationWe seal-coat some pretty rough pavementNot sure of the cutoff

6. Is the treatment matched to traffic and surface (chip seal, slurry, micro, fog, thin overlay)?Yes, the treatment suits the traffic level and surface conditionWe use one treatment regardlessNo

7. Is timing set for cure and weather (temperature and moisture windows for the treatment)?Yes, we place in the right temperature and moisture windowWe place when the crew is freeNo weather plan

8. Is there a plan to track how each treatment performs so the program improves?Yes, we follow treated sections and adjust the programWe move on and do not trackNo
