QUOTES:
“Roads in all countries represent an
important national asset”

“Management of road network asset of


such value requires adoption of the
most careful management practices
commensurate with those adopted by
the most successful businesses.”

I. Introduction

Importance of Timely
Maintenance
When roads are properly maintained,
the road users and administrators
benefit from improved traffic
efficiency, reduce travelling cost, and
road reconstruction expenses.
I. Introduction “Highway Life Cycle”

 After the construction of roads and
bridges, it is up to Maintenance
Section to keep the roadway safe
and serviceable for all road users, at
par with international standards.

 It is also the role of Maintenance to Maintenanc

I. Introduction

WHAT IS MAINTENANCE?
The preservation of infrastructure facilities to prolong the life span of the structure. It is the required work
to keep the structure in the original condition.

WHAT IS ITS PURPOSE?


1.To retain highway safety and standards
2.To preserve structural integrity & design life
3.Minimize vehicle operating cost.

WHY DO WE DO MAINTENANCE?
To provide comfort and convenience to the travelling public and to preserve the government’s investment in
the road network.
I. Introduction

ROADWAY MAINTENANCE
Is the act of PRESERVING and KEEPING the roadway system in, as near as
possible, its ORIGINALLY CONSTRUCTED or subsequently IMPROVED
state, to PROTECT the investment in the roadway system and provide
SAFETY, COMFORT and CONVENIENCE to the travelling public.
PHMMM 2014
II. Types of Roadway Maintenance

1. Routine Maintenance
2. Periodic Maintenance
3. Preventive Maintenance
4. Emergency Maintenance
II. Types of Roadway Maintenance

MAINTENANCE BY ADMINISTRATION
1. Routine Maintenance
 maintenance regularly performed throughout
the year and includes carriageway maintenance
and roadside maintenance.
 It is the day-to-day work that is necessary to
preserve and keep the pavement close to an as-
constructed condition as possible.
 Examples: patching potholes, crack sealing, spot
gravelling/reshaping of shoulders, vegetation
control, signage repair, side drain or canal
cleaning. Pothole Patching
Routine Maintenance

Ditch Cleaning
Crack/Joint Sealing
Vegetation Control
Routine Maintenance

Sign Maintenance Reshaping of


Shoulders
II. Types of Roadway Maintenance

2. Periodic Maintenance
 Refers to works more extensive than routine
maintenance and helps prevent:
(a) undue roadway deterioration,
(b) frequent routine maintenance,
(c) vehicular accidents
 regularly performed on a specific period of time
i.e. pavement markings application (edge/lane
line).
 Examples: Re-gravelling of unpaved roads, Women do Highway Maintenance Jobs
resealing bituminous pavements, replacing
Thermoplastic Markings
timber deck, bridge repainting.
Application
Periodic Maintenance

 This segment
used to have
raveling defect,
but with proper
maintenance
was brought
back to good
condition.

unpaved road pavement
II. Types of Roadway Maintenance

MAINTENANCE BY CONTRACT
3. Preventive Maintenance
 It is the work which is done to prevent
deterioration of a pavement to restore a
pavement to its as-constructed condition,
thus reducing the need for more substantial
work (Construction & Improvement).
 More extensive than normal periodic
maintenance activities
 Examples: Concrete Reblocking, Asphalt
Overlay Asphalt Overlay
Preventive Maintenance on Roads

Concrete Reblocking
Preventive Maintenance on Bridges

 Repair of defects classified as “poor condition” based on the condition rating criteria of
the Bridge Management System (BMS)

Epoxy injection for Carbon fiber Caulking and epoxy Waterproofing on


crack sheet/plate bonding injection for crack deck slab
Preventive Maintenance on Bridges

Steel plate adding

Repainting

jack-up girder

Replacement of expansion joint Repainting of steel bearing


II. Types of Roadway Maintenance

4. Emergency Maintenance
 Work/Maintenance performed on the
roadway system during and after storms,
calamities and other emergency
conditions to protect the travelling public
and roadway system and provide
temporary passage when possible.

Works include Regular Routine and Periodic
Maintenance Activities

• For Routine Maintenance Activities

• Pothole patching, scaling of cracks on pavement


• Grading and patching of shoulders
• Drainage cleaning and clearing
• Roadside and feature maintenance; vegetation
control, road sign and guardrail cleaning and
repainting; and maintenance of other roadside
features.
• Road markings maintenance
• Bridge maintenance, cleaning of bridge decks,
shelves framework and drainage, spot repainting
and clearing of waterway flows.

MAINTENANCE
For Periodic Maintenance Activities

• Re-gravelling of shoulders.
• Large area resealing of pavement
• Bridge parapet repairs, deck sealing, scour
protection, repainting.
