The City of Maryville, Missouri chose Applied Pavement Technology (APTech) to conduct a citywide pavement assessment and develop a management plan for approximately 250 miles of road.
From 2023 to 2024, APTech worked with Maryville to collect pavement data and establish a Pavement Management System (PMS). APTech presented multiple PMS options, showcasing how each software solution would fit the City’s long-term needs and budgetary requirements. The City chose StreetLogix for their PMS. APTech then used its Enhanced Data Gathering Equipment (EDGE) vehicle to collect automated pavement condition data on all City-maintained roadways. Trained APTech pavement inspection technicians reviewed collected data to verify distresses were correctly identified and configured StreetLogix PMS with this data, establishing pavement families, setting up performance models, and defining treatment strategies. APTech also developed 20-year scenarios for the City to help them understand how different funding levels would affect their road network.
APTech’s work collecting pavement condition data and establishing a PMS provided the City with a baseline for work planning and budgeting, an objective review of maintenance program effectiveness, and recommendations for the most efficient use of agency resources. These deliverables will help the City make accountable, data-driven, performance-based decisions about needs.
“Working with the City of Maryville, Missouri was particularly fun because they had not used a pavement management system in the past and were eager to make more proactive, data-driven decisions to address their road network needs. Working with them to evaluate and select a PMS tool gave insight into their pavement management high priority needs. I feel we were able to equip the City with tools and knowledge to better plan for future needs and present information to decision makers more clearly. ”
