Having A Plan - Pavement Preservation

A proactive plan to pavement management starts with a pavement condition survey (PCS).  A PCS conducted by USI’s experienced staff provides an agency with an unbiased, objective, and non-political pavement condition rating (PCR) which:

• Raises pavement condition awareness,
• Helps stretch maintenance funds,
• Builds a defensible case for additional program funding,
• Provides a prioritized repair program with estimated costs and maintenance activities, and
• Is the backbone of an effective pavement maintenance program!

 Once the condition of the roadway assets is known based on a rating system that is used by most municipalities in North Carolina, a municipality is able to compare their PCR to other municipalities or to prior surveys.  This allows a municipality to see if their pavement maintenance program is effective or if additional funding is necessary to keep these assets.
