FIELD OPERATIONS MANUALOPERATIONS PROCEDURESJuly 2001 PEOCEDURE No. 4Page 1 of 2GUARDRAIL MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENTPOLICYTHE INDIANA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION WILL MAINTAIN ALL GUARDRAIL IN SUCH A MANNERAS TO ASSURE THAT IT WILL FUNCTION AS DESIGNED.PROCEDURESIn order to establish a uniform program for the maintenance and replacement of guardrail, the following procedures areestablished.1. Each district shall have a program to assure that guardrail damage to the point of being nonfunctional is repaired in atimely manner to reduce the exposure to the traveling public. The process shall consist of an initial response, within 24hours of notification that damage exists, to clean up and delineate the area with approved traffic control devices.Permanent repairs of the damaged guardrail should be performed within five (5) working days. Damage that doesn’t affectthe function of the guardrail and is not hazardous may be scheduled for repairs as a routine maintenance activity.2. Recommendations for future improvements programs should be made for frequently damaged areas. A periodic review ofthe guardrail standards and the department's ''Roadside Design Guide'' SHALL BE CONDUCTED. Based on theseguidelines, a determination may be made to eliminate or add guardrail. Where more then 50% damage is incurred at aninstallation, consideration shall be given to upgrade the entire installation if the damage shall normally include allapproaches to a bridge or culvert. This could be four runs, one on each corner. An installation could be a single run ofguardrail in a high fill. The use of impact attenuators should be considered when applicable. Where less than 50% damageis incurred at an installation, repair in kind shall be accomplished.3. The district shall stockpile spare parts for each type of guardrail that its crews maintain.4. The district shall be responsible to see that a guardrail specialist is trained and responsible for the coordination of a partsinventory, the review of standards, and prompt repair procedures.
FIELD OPERATIONS MANUALOPERATIONS PROCEDURESJuly 2001 PROCEDURE No. 4Page 2 of 25. Each district and/or subdistrict is encouraged to establish communication with all appropriate police agencies in order toassure prompt notification of damages. In addition, the subdistrict shall review their roads on a periodic basis (at leastonce a year). The guardrail shall be reviewed for damage, deterioration, and breaks in the continuity of the guardrail. Alist of locations needed attention, beyond the capabilities of the subdistrict, will be submitted to the district for appropriateaction.COMMENTSIn step No. 4 the designated guardrail specialist should be trained in the criteria of the guardrail repair policy, the latest designcriteria and be capable of giving directions and assistance to the subdistricts in this activity. In districts that have any openended guardrail repair contract, the assigned Project Engineer/Supervisor should be knowledgeable of the latest in guardraildesign and installation.In step No. 5 the periodic examination is intended to be at least once a year preferable twice a year.
