dc.description.abstract | The core content of road maintenance management work is divided into two main aspects: inspection and maintenance. It is necessary to complete continuous maintenance operations through a proper inspection system and within limited budget constraints. The Public Works Section of Luzhu District Office is responsible for various engineering constructions within its jurisdiction, including roads, water conservancy, buildings, and parks. Due to the establishment of a comprehensive system, it is able to cope with the large and diverse amount of projects and has shown outstanding performance in various evaluations. This article analyzes and discusses the inspection reporting mechanism, maintenance management mechanism, and improvement of maintenance management in the jurisdiction of the district office.
The district office′s road maintenance management mainly consists of routine and planned operations. Routine operations include road inspections and minor repair work, while planned operations mainly focus on road maintenance and repair work.
In routine operations, road patrol work is the most important basic task. By first establishing a proper patrol plan, it is possible to prevent disasters, protect the safety of road users, and carry out preventive maintenance. As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure. By implementing preventive maintenance effectively, the service life of facilities can be extended, and maintenance economic benefits can be improved. For sporadic repair work, the most important aspects are the immediacy of emergency repairs and the durability of repairs. The former is closely related to the regular patrol system, so further exploration will be conducted to increase the patrol rate through a dynamic patrol system, thereby increasing the self-patrol rate for potholes. As for the latter, the repair of potholes will be explained using high-performance asphalt concrete and heated pavement maintenance vehicles to improve the durability of repairs.
Planned operations for annual major maintenance projects account for nearly 80% of the annual budget. Therefore, in addition to considering methods to extend the service life for sporadic repairs, determining the priority order of major maintenance projects will be the most significant factor affecting the cost-effectiveness of road maintenance funds. This study explores the evaluation methods for annual major maintenance projects through the municipal road major maintenance ranking system and the major maintenance project evaluation form. In the execution of major maintenance projects, environmental protection, disaster prevention and management, circular economy, energy conservation and carbon reduction, and pedestrian safety are also incorporated.
In addition, in terms of maintenance and management mechanisms, besides the need for proper management systems and operational quality, the public office has also established a Project Management Information System (PMIS) and the Luzhu District Road Maintenance Management Platform (QGIS), fully digitizing to improve administrative efficiency. | en_US |
