1 Re-Do It -- Faster, Cheaper, Greener Pavement Renewal Solutions

2 SHRP2 R23 | December 2013 Why Pavement Renewal? The real cost of bad roads: Rough roads add an average of $335 to the annual cost of owning a car. Every $1 spent in keeping a good road good saves spending $6 to $14 to rebuild one that has deteriorated. 2

3 SHRP2 R23 | December 2013 What Does The Public Expect? “Get in, get out, stay out” At lowest possible costs With the least environmental impact 3

4 SHRP2 R23 | December 2013 What Do Transportation Agencies Need? Innovative ways to speed up the delivery of needed infrastructure improvements at lower costs. Guides to build long-life pavements that incorporate the existing pavements into the new pavement structure. Rehabilitation projects that lead to more cost-effective results. Reusing existing pavement to reduce costs, including hauling and dumping costs, and to shrink construction. timelines. Projects that can be accelerated by reusing existing pavement, alleviating the need to remove and dispose of it offsite. 4

5 SHRP2 R23 | December 2013 Pavement Renewal Solutions Reusing existing pavement in pavement rehabilitation projects: Reduces costs Shrinks construction timelines Saves resources through recycling materials Reduces waste disposal Reduces the carbon footprint compared to new construction 5

6 SHRP2 R23 | December 2013 SHRP2 Research Identified design approaches that offer pavements with 30 to 50 years service with little structural damage Examined practice in 15 states. Seven states helped develop and test guidelines. Produced Pavement Renewal Solutions. 6

7 SHRP2 R23 | December 2013 Pavement Renewal Solutions Using this product, a transportation agency can : Determine when, where and how to best use existing pavement in roadway renewal projects Identify options for asphalt, concrete and innovative materials Identify what modifications and design thicknesses are necessary for a longer pavement life Achieve its goals for longer-lasting pavements 7

8 SHRP2 R23 | December 2013 What’s Provided? Decision matrix Rapid renewal options and background for using existing pavement in-place Designs for service life of 30 – 50 years Construction information for building long-life pavements Quick and effective analysis of renewal approaches Overview and “quick start” video 8

9 SHRP2 R23 | December 2013 rePave Scoping Tool Interactive, web-based program; steps to walk you through the decision-making process (selection and design tables). New alternatives to renewal approaches Pros and cons for each approach Construction techniques Methods for integrating recycled materials with road structures 9

10 SHRP2 R23 | December 2013 Pavement Renewal Solutions at Work in the States Washington State Department of Transportation Used Pavement Renewal Solutions on a time-sensitive project on Interstate 5 to help identify the best long-term renewal approach for the agency. Results:  25 percent savings in life-cycle costs  28 percent savings in user costs  43 percent fewer lane closures 10

11 SHRP2 R23 | December 2013 Value in Using Pavement Renewal Solutions: WSDOT 11 “It helped us identify our renewal options, understand how to specify them, and define best practices for implementation, without stumbling through several weeks of analysis.” Jeff Uhlmeyer State Pavement Engineer Washington State DOT “It helped us identify our renewal options, understand how to specify them, and define best practices for implementation, without stumbling through several weeks of analysis.” Jeff Uhlmeyer State Pavement Engineer Washington State DOT

12 SHRP2 R23 | December 2013 “It is imperative that the work being completed on the roadways be performed in an efficient and timely manner to minimize project durations and public inconvenience.” – North Dakota DOT’s application for the FHWA/AASHTO Implementation Assistance Program “It is imperative that the work being completed on the roadways be performed in an efficient and timely manner to minimize project durations and public inconvenience.” – North Dakota DOT’s application for the FHWA/AASHTO Implementation Assistance Program Pavement Renewal Solutions at Work in the States North Dakota Department of Transportation Experiencing a large increase in traffic due to oil development. Will use the Pavement Renewal Solutions software to identify options for reconstruction and major rehabilitation projects. 12

13 SHRP2 R23 | December 2013 How to Get Started Using Pavement Renewal Solutions Market the concept to your districts Participate in regional training seminars Identify candidate projects Provide training for your staff Identify performance measures Incorporate into your state toolbox Share your experiences through showcases or peer exchanges 13
