Pavement Management & Rehabilitation

The "MTC Difference"

At MTC, we understand that your pavement and surface systems are a major investment. That’s why we provide expert pavement management and rehabilitation services designed to protect performance, extend lifespan, and maximize long-term value. Inconsistent maintenance approaches can lead to premature wear, higher costs, and reduced reliability—especially when it comes to asphalt systems.

Managing this investment can be challenging. Second only to roofs, more dollars are spent on maintenance for paved surfaces than for all other facility upkeep combined. However, significant savings can be achieved with properly engineered asset management plans that prioritize timely maintenance and strategic rehabilitation.

Pavement Management Experts

Our pavement management and rehabilitation programs allow you to preserve and improve upon your investment through informed decisions. Our consistent inspection and analysis procedures provide an accurate history of past decisions and their results. Then we can help you develop your action plan based on your goals and budget, reduce overall project costs and increase the longevity of your paved surface.

Pavement Management FAQs

Pavement management helps extend the life of roads and parking lots by identifying issues early and planning maintenance at the right time. This reduces long-term costs, improves safety, and minimizes disruptions.

The process typically includes:

  • Inventorying pavement assets 
  • Assessing current condition 
  • Analyzing deterioration trends 
  • Prioritizing repairs or rehabilitation 
  • Developing a cost-effective maintenance plan

A PMS is a data-driven tool used to track pavement condition and plan maintenance strategies. It saves money by shifting maintenance from reactive repairs to proactive planning, allowing minor issues to be addressed before they become costly failures.

PCI is a numerical rating from 0 to 100 that reflects pavement condition based on observed distress types, severity, and extent. Inspectors evaluate surface conditions and apply standardized scoring methods to determine the PCI. The result helps guide maintenance and rehabilitation decisions.

  • 85–100: Excellent condition 
  • 70–85: Good condition 
  • 55–70: Fair condition (may require preventive maintenance) 
  • Below 55: Poor condition (rehabilitation likely needed)

Both systems evaluate pavement condition, but they differ in approach:

  • PCI is a detailed, engineering-based rating system using standardized distress measurements 
  • PASER is a simpler, visual rating system (typically 1–10 scale) used for quick assessments

 

PCI provides more detailed data for engineering decisions, while PASER is often used for network-level evaluations and budgeting.
