Every dollar spent on preventive road maintenance saves seven dollars in future reconstruction costs. Yet most municipalities still manage pothole repair queues, pavement condition surveys, and surface treatment schedules through disconnected spreadsheets — with no system linking field condition data to budget decisions or repair prioritization. Oxmaint gives municipal public works departments the pavement condition tracking, work order automation, and capital prioritization to run a compliant, cost-effective road maintenance program — from crack sealing to full reconstruction. Book a demo to see how Oxmaint manages municipal road maintenance programs.
Municipal road maintenance management is the systematic process of pavement condition assessment, PCI scoring, treatment selection by deterioration stage, repair work order scheduling, and capital improvement prioritization — structured so that every crack seal, slurry seal, overlay, and reconstruction project is applied to the right road at the right time. Oxmaint automates PCI-based work order routing, tracks pavement treatment history per road segment, and generates condition-scored road capital plans that councils accept as defensible investment evidence.
Treatment selection at the wrong PCI stage is the single most expensive mistake in municipal road maintenance. Oxmaint tracks every road segment's PCI and routes the right treatment at the right time.
Lowest cost intervention. Oxmaint schedules preventive treatments and tracks segment history to maintain PCI above the cost-effective treatment threshold.
Last cost-effective surface treatment window. Work orders generated automatically when PCI drops into this range based on last inspection data.
Surface treatments no longer sufficient. Structural intervention required. Segment enters capital priority queue with condition score and traffic weighting.
Preventive opportunity lost. Reconstruction is the only option. Emergency capital submission package generated with consequence-of-failure documentation.
Oxmaint tracks every road segment's PCI and routes the right treatment at the right time — before reactive patching replaces the preventive budget.
From road network inventory to council-ready capital submissions — four steps on one platform.
Every road segment registered with surface type, lane configuration, length, ADT, last treatment history, and current PCI. GIS layer imported directly — no manual re-entry. Treatment history linked per segment from day one.
Inspection findings update PCI per segment. Oxmaint routes the appropriate treatment work order automatically — crack seal for PCI 80, overlay for PCI 50, capital flag for PCI 38. No manual dispatching or treatment selection from a spreadsheet.
Pothole reports from citizens, field crews, or 311 integration create work orders with location, severity, and priority. Repair completion documented with photo evidence and GPS. Recurring pothole locations flagged for structural assessment referral.
Road segments ranked by PCI, ADT, and consequence of deterioration. Rolling multi-year capital improvement plan generated automatically — formatted for council submission and state transportation funding applications.
| Treatment Type | PCI Range | Application Condition | What Oxmaint Tracks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crack Sealing | 75 – 85 | Low-severity longitudinal and transverse cracking, structurally sound base | Segment ID, crack severity rating, linear footage treated, material used, 5-year reapplication trigger |
| Slurry / Chip Seal | 60 – 75 | Surface oxidation and raveling, no structural distress, suitable base condition | Treatment date, aggregate and emulsion spec, ADT at time of treatment, next inspection date auto-set |
| Micro-Surfacing | 55 – 70 | Surface wear, moderate cracking, rut filling, high-traffic arterials | Application thickness, rut depth pre/post, mix design, contractor and crew attribution |
| Mill and Overlay | 40 – 55 | Structural fatigue cracking, base still sound, 2-inch or greater surface failure | Milling depth, overlay thickness, compaction test records, warranty period tracking |
| Full Reconstruction | Below 40 | Alligator cracking, base failure, utility conflicts, complete structural loss | Capital work order with cost estimate, funding source, project phasing, council submission package |
| Pothole Patching | Any — reactive | Localized surface failure, safety hazard, citizen or crew report | Location GPS, defect photo, repair material and volume, completion time, recurring location flag |
Oxmaint tracks every road segment's condition and routes the correct treatment work order before the PCI drops past the cost-effective intervention window — saving municipalities up to 70% versus reactive reconstruction budgets.
Municipal road maintenance intersects with transportation funding requirements, asset management mandates, and data privacy obligations. All Oxmaint data is encrypted AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit.
