Pavements Engineering

Pavements Engineering Section is responsible for developing pavement structural designs and construction strategies for constructing new pavements, for strengthening and rehabilitating existing pavements, and for conducting pavement impact studies. Pavement structure assessment programs are managed to determine structural adequacy for pavement management purposes and to determine spring load restriction needs. This section manages field and lab pavement research projects to assess and implement new methods and procedures. Design standards and guidelines are developed through the evaluation of pavements.
