Pavements Committee

Overview

This committee supports the Infrastructure & Asset Management Council. It is a centre of expertise within TAC and a national forum for information exchange and problem solving related to pavement design, rehabilitation, management, performance and evaluation, and maintenance and construction specific to pavement layers. Its broad goals include:

• Identifying research needs in the areas of pavement design, construction, maintenance, rehabilitation, management and evaluation, and the factors that influence the physical behaviour, service life, and environmental and economic impacts of pavements
• Managing and promoting guidance in the pavements area and encouraging adoption of cost-effective processes and technologies

The Committee meets in person twice a year, and by teleconference as needed. Meetings are open to all employees of TAC member organizations, individual TAC members, and others at the discretion of the Chair.
