What does pavement condition index mean?

The pavement condition index indicates the general condition of a road.

An index less than 30 is considered poor, an index above 30 and less than 60 is considered fair, an index above 60 and less than 90 is considered good, and an index above 90 is considered excellent.

Bonded Wearing Course
BWC info

This is a high performance overlay that consists of a single step placement of spray applied polymer modified asphalt emulsion immediately ahead of gap graded hot mix asphalt. The treatment provides a new paved wearing surface that seals the existing pavement, preserves curb reveal, and creates a high skid resistant surface that will not delaminate.

Concrete Overlays
Concrete Overlay info

Overlays are a type of resurfacing finish that you apply over existing concrete surfaces. They can revitalize the look of your concrete floor while also mimicking other types of stone, brick, wood, and slate. An “overlay” creates a layer over the concrete.

Maintenance Overlay
Maintenance Overlay info

The intent of this treatment is to leave the existing pavement structure intact. Cast iron structures (manholes, catch basins, water, and gas gates) will be reset to meet the new pavement elevation (if required). A bonding agent may be sprayed on the pavement and approximately 1.5 to 2 inches of new pavement will be installed. Minor pothole patching and other pavement repairs are done prior to the installation of this treatment. This treatment adds strength to the road surface.

Preservation
Preservation info

Whether a highway pavement is constructed using asphalt, concrete or a composite system, traffic loads and environmental elements will contribute to its deterioration over time. Pavement preservation treatments can slow this structural decline.

Mill and Overlay
Mill And Overlay info

The existing pavement has 0.5 to 2 inches of the surface ground off. This treatment removes the existing deteriorated wearing surface and leaves the substructure intact. It is not uncommon for two layers to be installed after the milling of the pavement.

Reclamation
Reclamation info

This treatment is intended for a roadway that has outlived it useful life. It is considered to be the most aggressive resurfacing treatment. The entire pavement structure is completely pulverized to depth of 14" to 20". Most of the pulverized material is reused as a subbase for the asphalt paving. Additional material may be required to be blended in the subbase to meet specifications. After the subbase is installed a minimum of 4" of asphalt is installed in multiple layers.

Routine Maintenance
Routine Maintenance info

Routine maintenance, which comprises small-scale works conducted regularly, aims “to ensure the daily passability and safety of existing roads in the short-run and to prevent premature deterioration of the roads” (PIARC 1994).
