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.
