1. Federal Aviation Administration Presented to: 2011 Eastern Region Airports Conference By:Al Larkin, Project Manager for Non- Destructive Pavement Testing Date: March 2, 2011 FAA PAVEAIR Web-Based Pavement Management Software

2. 2 Federal Aviation Administration FAA PAVEAIR March 2, 2011 2 What is an Airport Pavement Management System? Discussed in FAA Advisory Circular 150/5380- 7A A system which identifies optimum strategies to maintain pavements at an adequate level of serviceability Includes systematic procedures for scheduling maintenance and rehabilitation activities Optimizes benefits while minimizing cost

3. 3 Federal Aviation Administration FAA PAVEAIR March 2, 2011 3 History of Airport Pavement Management Systems (APMS) Development of Mainframe PAVER was started in 1968 for use on mainframe computers Development was by the USACE for use by the Department of Defense (DOD) Development of MicroPAVER was started in 1985 - funding was provided by the FAA for development by the ACOE FAA version of MicroPAVER was delivered in 1987 FAA PAVEAIR – web-based APMS released on Feb 10, 2011

4. 4 Federal Aviation Administration FAA PAVEAIR March 2, 2011 4 Benefits of an Airport Pavement Management System Provides an objective and consistent evaluation of the condition of a network of pavements Provides a systematic and documentable engineering basis for determining maintenance and rehabilitation needs Identifies budget requirements necessary to maintain pavements at various levels of serviceability Provides documentation on the present and future condition of the pavements in a network Determines life-cycle costs for various maintenance and rehabilitation alternatives Identifies the impact on the pavement network as a result of performing no major repairs

5. 5 Federal Aviation Administration FAA PAVEAIR March 2, 2011 5 Pavement Management Programs Must Include: Pavement Inventory: Location, type of pavement, dimensions, construction date Inspection Schedule Detailed inspection must be performed at least once a year Drive-by inspection must be performed a minimum of once per month Record Keeping: Inspection date, location, distress types, maintenance scheduled or performed Information Retrieval Program Funding
