Condition Assessment, Design & Construction Management of Asphalt Pavement Overlay Replacement (325,000 SF) for Southridge Hills Development, South Brunswick, NJ: AEG conducted condition assessment and design of asphalt pavement at Southridge Hills (SRH) Development in South Brunswick New Jersey during April 2008. There is approximately 325,000 SF asphalt pavement in the development which includes Southridge Hills Drive, Bard Drive (north & south) and the parking courts. The scope of the assessment was to observe existing condition of asphalt pavement, consider options for repair/replacement, and present the findings to the SRH Board with cost estimate of each option. Asphalt pavement of all parking courts and roads within the development was in fair to poor or in poor condition. Asphalt surface had alligatoring, random cracks (fine & wide), potholes and completely deteriorated asphalt wearing course at a few intersections. Overall the condition of asphalt was worst at intersections and in parking courts. Generally the grade/slope of asphalt was good. No major water ponding was observed except areas where asphalt wearing course was deteriorated. AEG provided two options with cost estimates. AEG recommended that the entire asphalt surface be milled, remove and dispose the 1 ½" to 2" overlay (wearing course) and new asphalt overlay be installed. It was recommended that seal coating be applied two (2) years after the asphalt pavement has been replaced to maintain the surface and prevent early deterioration of asphalt pavement. AEG presented their findings to the community & board using a power point presentation during an open meeting attended by residents and the board. The presentation included existing condition photographs, typical deficiencies, both options with costs & recommended solution. AEG prepared bid document for asphalt replacement after Boards approval of Report. AEG was retained by Board to provide Construction Management Services for the project. |
