Rehabilitation<br />

Description<br />

The current condition of the road requires no immediate attention.<br />

For example, new roads, recently rehabilitated roads, or roads<br />

which have recently been maintained effectively.<br />

Routine maintenance is required, i.e. w ork that can be done using<br />

normal maintenance facilities. For example, repair of potholes,<br />

crack sealing, shoulder balding, etc.<br />

More extensive w ork than routine maintenance is needed, aimed<br />

primarily at maintaining or improving the existing road surface.<br />

Some minor preparation w ork, such as patching, may be needed<br />

before the resurfacing is done.<br />

Similar w ork to the reseal but extensive preparation w ork is needed<br />

before resurfacing is done. Resurfacing may also include an<br />

asphalt overlay (< 50 mm).<br />

The road must be put on the rehabilitation programme. Could<br />

include pavement reconstruction, additional layers (asphalt<br />

included), or settlement repairs, but mainly involves strengthening<br />

of the pavement structure.<br />

Below is the different priority that may be recommended for treatment.<br />

Priority<br />

Description<br />

DESCRIPTION OF ROUTINE PRIORITIES<br />

Urgent attention is required. Safety risk, degree of distress so severe<br />

that it is a danger to the road user. The maintenance must be done<br />

A<br />

immediately and deserves continuous attention. For example,<br />

dangerous isolated failures.<br />

Attention is needed w ithin 6 months in order to prevent further<br />

B deterioration. For example, crack-sealing of severe cracks, repair of<br />

surface, etc.<br />

Maintenance w hich should be programmed, such as minor crack<br />

C<br />

sealing and edge repairs.<br />

DESCRIPTION OF RESEAL OR LIGHT REHABILITATION PRIORITIES<br />

Within 1 year: Seal must be done as soon as possible to prevent<br />

A<br />

further deterioration.<br />

Within 2 years: Reseal should be done in the follow ing financial year.<br />

B<br />

Make provision for it in the estimates.<br />

Within 3 years: Work w hich should be scheduled for reseal w ithin the<br />

C<br />

next three years. Re-evaluate in the follow ing year.<br />

DESCRIPTION OF HEAVY REHABILITATION PRIORITIES<br />

2 year programme: Attention must be given to defects as soon as<br />

A<br />

possible. Poor to very poor condition w ith signs of rapid deterioration.<br />

5-year programme: Attention must be given to defects in the medium<br />

B<br />

term. Project must appear on the 5-year rehabilitation programme.<br />

10-year programme: This segment should receive attention in the<br />

long-term. Project should appear on 10-year rehabilitation programme.<br />

C<br />

Consequences of determent not serious as rate of deterioration are<br />

slow or traffic volumes are low .<br />
