Pavement Management System
Plaistow, New Hampshire
BETA developed a Pavement Management System for the Town of Plaistow’s 36-mile roadway network. The program was developed utilizing BETA’s customized Microsoft Access application and ArcView 9x. BETA has since re-evaluated Plaistow’s roadway network in the fall of 2012.
The primary goal of the system is to accurately predict roadway deterioration through the implementation of an automated pavement management system. This system provides Plaistow with the opportunity to synthesize pavement inventory and condition data with other descriptive information on a host of related roadway elements such as drainage.
In addition to developing the Pavement Management System in 2012, BETA also assessed the condition of State-Owned Sidewalks and inventoried all catch basins on town maintained streets for NPDES Reporting. The final deliverable included a series of MS-Access based reports and GIS maps representing each asset as well as a 3-Year Capital Improvement Plan regarding the Pavement Management Program.
“Excellent job—extremely professional and helpful. I was able to get the Board of Selectmen to support adding another $100K to or SRTS project and I have no doubt that BETA had a lot to do with helping the board feel confident with our strategy. “
-Sean Fitzgerald, Town Manager
