Pavements keep us out of the mud
Pavements keep us out of the mud
This was mentioned in our first posts. There are a multitude of options to keep us clean and dry. What is the budget? What is the surface type, how many layers, and how thick are the layers? How long do you want it to last without major restoration? These are the big picture questions to be answered with a structured pavement management program.
The next five postings will review concepts that:
-Pavement ownership costs money
-Understanding the causes of pavement failures saves money
-The general problems of large, paved areas
-Heavy vehicles
-Drainage
Covering the earth with a large, uniform coating creates unique challenges we will explore.
