Needs for Pavement Preservation
In 1998, network analysis using the HDMHDM-III

computer
p
program

showed that an annual budget
g
of PKR 6.0 billions per year is required over 10
years period to improve the average network
conditions to an acceptable level

to 10.5 billions after adjusting for inflation

The Problem
Funding for preventive maintenance, preservation,
rehabilitation,, and reconstruction of roadways
y
compete with other demands on the limited public
funds and resources.
Innovation is required in order to do more with less.
Asphalt

existing budgets to maintain, preserve, rehabilitate and
reconstruct more kilometers of roadways.
