Slash infrastructure costs and extend roadway lifespans by shifting from expensive reactive reconstruction to smart, proactive pavement preservation and maintenance strategies.
Maintaining the structural integrity and safety of roadways in Canada's harsh and variable climate presents unique challenges for engineers, planners, and infrastructure managers. This comprehensive course provides an in-depth look at the industry-leading strategies and techniques used for effective pavement preservation across the country. By focusing on proactive maintenance rather than reactive rehabilitation, the curriculum explores how to significantly extend the lifecycle of asphalt and concrete networks while optimizing municipal and provincial budgets.
The course covers key preservation treatments—such as crack sealing, micro-surfacing, and chip sealing—tailored specifically to withstand extreme freeze-thaw cycles, sub-zero temperatures, and heavy traffic loads. It delves into the critical decision-making processes involved in modern pavement management systems, highlighting how to select the right treatment for the right road at exactly the right time. Featuring an overview of current Canadian standards, material performance metrics, and environmental sustainability considerations, this course provides a vital framework for managing resilient, cost-effective, and long-lasting transportation infrastructure.
