Documenting Paving Systems
When specifying a Paving Asset Management Software platform for annual services.
FM-Pro- PavingfPro™ is a commercially available solution for building an inventory of commercial Paving systems.
The application software can incorporate detailed as built construction records with a document management area at both the facility and Paving section pages.
As Built Paving SystemsFor the Individual Paving asset areas, the program will provide data areas for documenting.
Paving assessment information is organized and inventoried using references from the CSI master format, Paving type classifications. A widely used classification method widely shared between North American Architects, Engineers and Building owners.
As the sample below demonstrates using a combination of industry standards, naming and numbering will allow a consistent accounting of the inventory of Paving systems, even when using multiple service providers.
| Flexible Paving | 32 12 00 |
|---|---|
| Plant-Mix Asphalt Paving | 32 12 16.13 |
| Cold-Mix Asphalt Paving | 32 12 16.19 |
| Polymer-Modified Asphalt Paving | 2 12 16.29 |
Sample: CSI Numbering use of Flexible Paving systems where there is a general group noted by 32 12 00 and specific types under this category e.g. 32 12 16.13. The addition of listing the Paving system components; subbase, layer descriptions, overlay thickness further enhances the as built information.
Commercial Paving Systems- As Built Data
| Paving System Construction | |
| Existing Equipment type | Document the layers of the existing Paving system type. |
| Core Composition The core information is obtained by taking a Paving core; the information may also be obtained from "As Built" records. Layer Type Standard entries are Surfacing, paving type, subbase. Provide a description of the layer type from the subbase up, or surfacing down. Include the Method of Attachment to the layer. | |
| Core Photos | Include Core Photos in report to document the equipment installation. |
| Paving Defects | |
| 1. Type of Defect | Defect type (e.g. Alligator Cracking, Slippage Cracks, Pot Holes). |
| 2. Severity | Severity rating (Minor, Moderate, Major) |
| 3. Quantity | The quantity of this defect type |
| 4. Status | Outstanding if this defect has yet to be repaired. |
| 5. Photo | Photo (s) shows the defect. |
| 6. Details and Condition | A description of the type, cause, size, additional details |
| Paving Top Details | |
| 1. Description | A description of the terminating item such as curbs, drainage, lighting, projections. |
| 2. Flashing membrane | Description of the flashing membrane (if applicable). |
| 3. Flashing | Description of the flashing method (if applicable). |
| 4. Photo | Photo shows construction detail and flashing. |
| 5. Details and conditions | Details and condition information for each Paving top detail that should be documented. |
| Moisture Surveys | |
| 1. Type of Survey | The type of survey performed. |
| 2. Date performed | Date of the survey. |
| 3. Membrane condition | Membrane condition (e.g. dry, damp, wet). |
| 4. Insulation condition | Insulation condition (e.g. dry, damp, wet). |
| 5. Survey details | Additional information about the survey performed, if required |
| 6. Survey photos | One or more photos, with a date and description of the findings |
| 7. Compressive Testing | One or more testing samples by test method, with a date and description |
| 8. Historical | Record any relevant history, delta of previous tests/surveys |
| Recommendations | |
| 1. Type of Activity | Type of activity - e.g. inspection, repair, replacement etc. |
| 2. Budget Year | Recommendations to be completed, a specific budget year. |
| 3. Action Items? | Recommended activity is one that must be done ASAP in order to eliminate health and safety issues, or to prevent high cost repairs later. |
| 4. Allocation | Budget allocation - e.g. expense or capital. |
| 5. Urgency | Urgency - low, moderate, high. |
| 6. Budget Cost | Estimate budget amount |
| 7. Details of Activity | An explanation of the recommended VT activity. |
| 8. Scope of work | Any reference documents |
Summary
In the Paving system construction, list the Paving system components and method of installation subbase to the top surfacing. Including of the thickness of each component and the dimensions of each Paving component and the total thickness and specifications detail for the Paving system.
In Paving system details provide a description of the primary details, terminations and penetrations per Paving area.
The Paving defect area should support entering observed defects for each Paving area. The defect descriptions should apply to each unique Paving system as to provide the district the ability to track defects rates by each Paving type.
