Roads Condition Inventory

Pavement Management

Public Works now manages the street network of Estes Park with a computer-based program called MicroPaver™. This windows-based program is a powerful tool in managing our pavements. Roads must be managed, not just maintained. A pavement management system (PMS) is defined as a set of tools for performing condition surveys and condition prediction, and developing work plans with the objective of optimizing spending. A PMS uses engineering technology to determine when, where, and how to best maintain roadways. It provides the needed leverage to preserve the infrastructure investment. MicroPaver™ assists the Engineering Division to organize, plan and budget for pavement maintenance. It offers prediction modeling and analysis for long term future control of all aspects of pavement management.
