Life-Cycle Costing for Pavement Preservation Treatments

We need new strategies to preserve and maintain our municipal roadways at an acceptable level of condition. This infrastructure is critical to the successful transportation of people and goods in any location. As cities and towns grow, so does the strain on our roadway infrastructure. One method that greatly reduces long-term cost is preventive maintenance (PM).  If the existing roadway is in fairly good condition and structurally sound, it can be treated with surface or near-surface treatments that will cost-effectively extend its service life. This webinar focuses on creating a successful roadway preservation plan, looking at common maintenance and rehabilitation treatments, PM treatment costs, discussing whether the benefits of applying PM treatments is cost-effective, and discussing the dos and don’t to ensure the successful use of PM treatments.  This webinar outlines the various pavement preservation treatments that can be used in conjunction with a life-cycle cost procedure to determine the whole life cost of a pavement. 

Webinar Benefits

• To understand the basic design principles and critical aspects of transportation pavement infrastructure
• Be able to describe key elements to ensure the cost-effective life-cycle of pavements
• To be able to understand key pavement material properties and performance
• Identify important issues and inspection and testing tasks to maximize pavement life

To be able to document and understand the impact of the development and use of a pavement preservation program.  

Delivery Method:  Virtual Session – Zoom Webinar

Course Fee Includes: Access to the course, course materials, and upon completion a digital certificate if requested.

This course is delivered in partnership with local and provincial construction associations across Canada. You will be participating with a group of industry peers from multiple regions.

Sharing a single registration between two or more individuals is not permitted. Please register each person that will be in attendance.

There are no prerequisites for this course.

This webinar is designed for transportation professionals, civil engineers, urban planners, municipal officials, and anyone involved in roadway infrastructure management and maintenance.

1. Computer or laptop 

• This course will involve on-screen interaction with your instructor and classmates, reading/viewing on-screen content (slides or videos), and interacting via typing with questions or responses. For this reason, cellphones may not be adequate. 

• Windows 10 or Mac iOS  

4. Internet connection - For best results, you will want to ensure you have an internet connection with an upload/download speed of 3-5 Mbps. You can test your internet speed here. Minimum recommended speed is 1.5 Mbps, but anything below 3 Mbps may result in loss of quality or buffering. Ideally hardwired connection versus wireless for stability - connect your computer directly to your router using an ethernet cable, rather than using your home wi-fi.  

5. A quiet space with minimal distractions - microphone will be engaged for interactive sessions. Please plan to be fully engaged in the class and clear your work schedule just as you would for the in-class program.    

6. Comfortable chair
