Guide to Pavement Maintenance

The cost of pavement maintenance keeps escalating upward as refining crude

oil technology increases, a shortage of raw materials rises, and mining permits

are harder to obtain. As a result, both private and public property owners and

homeowners' associations will be spending more on pavement maintenance than

ever before.

construction and maintenance as well as years of research as they share practical

tools and tips that will help anyone manage a successful pavement maintenance

project. Through the included charts that will help determine maintenance strategies,

¿ Develop the proper scope of work, specifications, bids, and contract documents

¿ Estimate repair costs, manage the project, and monitor job site materials

¿ Evaluate the return on investment for repairs

Designed specifically to aid in any asphalt projects for commercial properties, shopping

centers, industrial properties, apartment buildings, and homeowners' associations

or master communities, the Guide to Pavement Maintenance provides step-by-step

leadership for anyone ready to tackle a pavement maintenance project.
