Pavement Condition Survey

The Town of Firestone conducts a pavement condition survey every three years to access the condition of all streets in Firestone. The pavement condition survey gathers information using a laser to perform a surface condition assessment. Segments of each street were given a score of what its surface condition is currently, which allows staff to access which streets need attention now and which can be postponed. Along with the score, raw data was provided that can help determine the appropriate treatment or repair. The results allow the Town to rank and prioritize street rehabilitation with scientific data.
