WEBINAR: Mastering Road Repair & Reconstruction
Road maintenance is one of the most expensive municipal operations – and fraught with unexpected costs. Regardless, maintenance is a reality for all communities as a long-term investment that directly affects the quality of life for your residents.

Has a surprise expense caught you or your fellow officials off guard? Here are some common examples:

• After spending several hundred thousand dollars on paving streets, the road maintenance plan does not include crack sealing or “reclamite”.
• One year after paving a street, council decides to pave an adjacent street, resulting in additional equipment transportation.
• Council decided to pave several roads without checking for future utility repair or considering sewage infrastructure improvements.
• Poorly gathered or inconsistent data led to roads deteriorating beyond repair, resulting in full reconstruction.

Councils and Boards have the duty of managing the long-term investment of road maintenance carefully so that expenses like these don’t escalate, but without clear, accurate data, problems inevitably arise, and only additional funding can resolve them.

A long-term strategic repair plan can prevent potential fallout, but only if all the right issues are understood and addressed. Join us with Bryan Flaugh, P.E., of Gateway Engineers, for this free webinar covering everything you need to know to maximize road maintenance in your community:

• How roads are constructed
• What makes roads fail
• Different ways to fix roads
• Methods of preventative maintenance for repaired roads
• How to strategically plan repair of roads over time

Don’t be caught off guard. Plan wisely and utilize a systematic approach to road management in order to avoid unnecessary costs and aggravation.
