Abstract:

Due to shale oil/gas recovery ; operations, a large number ; of truck trips on Louisiana ; roadways are required for ; transporting equipment and ; materials to and from the ; recovery sites. As a result, ; roads and bridges that were ; designed for agricultural ; purposes and/or residential ; access are now subjected to ; heavy traffic loads that are ; far beyond the original design ; limits of the infrastructure. ; Roadway damages in ; northwest Louisiana due to oil/ ; gas recovery activities have ; been increasing drastically. ; The Louisiana Department ; of Transportation and ; Development (DOTD) needs to assess and quantify the damages prior to seeking recovery ; of costs for repair. There is no existing approach available for Louisiana to estimate and ; recover costs for repair of the associated roadway damages.
