Saskatchewan Highways and Transportation (DHT) manage an extensive provincial highway network that supports Saskatchewan's economic and social well being with exports generating approximately 67% of its GDP. New construction, preservation of the existing asset, safety, and other pressures compete for limited funds. To manage the preservation of the granular and paved highway system, the department employs an Asset Management system, developed by Vemax Management Inc., as a tool to facilitate network level, project level, and day to day decisions. The purpose of this paper is to describe the annual Asset Management process used by DHT to manage the granular and paved networks. A high quality Asset Management system allows DHT to monitor and predict pavement performance and allow decision makers to make informed decisions on future funding decisions.
