Abstract:

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) maintains 43,000 lane miles of roadway in order to allow the public to ; safely and efficiently travel throughout Ohio. Pavement conditions play a major role in the efficiency and safety of the ; traveling public, as well as public opinion towards ODOT. The public’s increasing demand to have roadways clear of ; potholes and cracks motivates ODOT to explore various methods of extending the lifespan of the roadways without an ; increase in budget. ODOT currently spends approximately $523 million dollars on pavement projects and an additional $25 ; million on maintaining the roadways (not including snow and ice operations) in the fiscal year 2015 (ODOT, 2015). One ; method that may increase the service life of pavement is to reduce the amount of standing water on the roadways by ; cleaning pipes and underdrains. ; The results of this project will provide ODOT with a cleaning method necessary for maintaining pipes and underdrains that ; may be more efficient than he current practices of ODOT. In addition, the project provides recommendations for ; equipment that is specialized in cleaning smaller pipes and drains that will utilize an existing ODOT vehicle located at the ; Portage County Garage in District 4.
