| Abstract: |
Focuses on understanding the condition of the road, so that costly repairs can be avoided through proper, proactive maintenance. Since field conditions are always changing, it is important to use experience to read the trouble signs on the roadway and adjust the maintenance plan as necessary. If the right repairs are undertaken at the right time, by accurately identifying the cause and extent and then repairing according, you will save time and money and minimize the environmental impacts. The causes, symptoms and cures to the following conditions are addressed: rutting, washboarding, potholes, destroyed road template, cracks, flour, loss of surfacing, excessive vegetation, water bypassing the surface cross drains, damaged or filled cattleguards, damage to bridges, and damage to fords. |
| Notes: |
Beautiful scenery in an informative, well-produced, voice-over video. Part of an excellent series ideal for anyone that maintains or oversees low volume, unpaved roads. |
