Interlocking Pavement Condition Index (IPCI)
Interlocking pavement distress data are collected through a paver distress survey. Each paver distress within in a given interlocking pavement section is evaluated by type, severity and quantity. Field data processing and reports are performed in-house.
These data are processed using the interlocking pavement distress criteria to arrive at a deduct value from the pavement section as a whole. Then a formula is used to calculate an interlocking Pavement Condition Index for the entire section. This paver distress survey is performed according to ASTM E 2840-11.
The resulting score is provided to our client along with field collected data and a report detailing paver distress cause(s), solution and recommendations including paver repair of the pavement system.
PCI data may be layered over time, providing a deterioration rate where plans for future maintenance, including paver repairs, may be scheduled.
