Determination of Pavement Condition Index and Maintenance Cost Evaluation at the Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa, Nigeria

Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology  ·  Area of research: Civil Engineering

Abstract

The pavement condition index (PCI) is an easy, suitable and cheap way to evaluate the status of pavement surface distress in order to suggest the methods and time for maintenance and rehabilitation, as well as to serve as base for predicting the budget of same operations, with the ultimate goal of ensuring pavement sustainability. This research project assessed the quality of the surface condition of road branch ABCDEFG within the Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa flexible road network, and also determined the condition of drainages (and other road fittings) through a Road Inventory Survey earlier conducted. The inventory survey was done through physical inspection of the entire road branch while the Manual Pavement Condition Survey was carried out through measurement of the pavement distresses in ten sample units within section BCD of the road branch, and the data analyzed using normal PCI method. Blocked culverts, failed drainages and scarified shoulders were observed at some locations and the general pavement condition of the road section was very poor because PCI read 35%. It therefore means that there is an urgent need for a periodic maintenance such as overlay after patching. A Bill of Engineering Measurement and Evaluation (BEME) was therefore drafted for an immediate maintenance operation.
