The International Pavement Management Association (IPMA) has set the record straight with its video about pavement preservation myths.
-
1. Pavement preservation is expensive.
-
2. Free training is always unbiased.
-
3. We have to continue to pave the way it has always been done.
-
4. Asphalt lasts 20 years.
Some other highlights of the pavement preservation video include:
-
A discussion on how to calculate your network level replacement value of roadways along with the percentage of that value that needs to be spent each year to maintain roadways. (11-minute mark)
-
Barnhardt’s promise to “prove” that pavement management doesn’t cost money, but that it actually costs money not to manage pavements. (13-minute mark)
-
How it will be possible for all of the asphalt paving contractors in America to increase their hot mixed asphalt tonnage output per annum to 800 million tons.
