One of the fundamental objectives of a Maintenance Management System (MMS) is capturing maintenance costs for analysis. Where in a system labor, equipment, and materials usage costs are captured can make a difference in the level of detail, accuracy, and timeliness of the cost information collected. This webinar will help agencies navigate the process of integrating cost data into the MMS to effectively manage and track maintenance expenditures.

Two significant advances have recently emerged in predicting the in-place strength of concrete for pavements and facilitating earlier opening of pavements. The first is the development of a new American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) maturity test method for pavements. The second is ASTM C1074, an advancement in sensor technology, which captures time and temperature data from the field. This webinar will inform agencies and practitioners of these new approaches.
