Workshop: Extending Pavement Life through Pavement Preservation Techniques, Strategies, and Preventative Maintenance

November 4, 2019 by Micaela Kranz

Double solid yellow line markers on the center of a road.The University of Minnesota’s Center for Transportation Studies is hosting a new workshop, “Extending Pavement Life through Pavement Preservation Techniques, Strategies, and Preventative Maintenance.”

This workshop provides an overview of the available technology and tools that make implementing a pavement preservation program feasible. An effective pavement preservation program encompasses a full range of maintenance strategies, as well as rehabilitation treatments, with the goal of enhancing pavement performance (ride, quality, safety, service life, etc.).

Pavement preservation takes the maintenance process one step further by carefully choosing and timing pavement maintenance applications to extend the life of the pavement. Additionally, the workshop will introduce some new preventive maintenance technologies and allow time for specific discussions around attendees’ needs.
