Have you ever thought of collecting images on the contract area before starting the new contract? Would before and after images be useful if documented?

We outlined some of the main reasons to justify collecting initial image data on a daily road and street maintenance contract area at early stage:

1. Documenting baseline Information: Initial image data provides baseline information about the condition of the roads at the start of the contract. This data can be used as a reference point to assess the changes in the road condition over time.

2. Prioritizing activities: It helps in planning the maintenance activities efficiently. By knowing the current state of the roads, the contractor can prioritize which areas need immediate attention and which ones can be scheduled for later.

3. Budget allocation: It helps in estimating the cost of maintenance and thus assists in budget allocation. Accurate and good quality imagery can help identify the severity of road damages, which can then be used to estimate the required resources and costs.

4. Monitoring road and street maintenance progress: It allows for tracking the progress of maintenance work. By comparing the before and after images, the contractor can assess the quality and effectiveness of the maintenance work.

5. Dispute resolution: In case of any disputes regarding the road conditions, the initial image data can serve as proof of the state of the roads at the beginning of the contract. One image can save you significant sum, when avoiding potential disputes.

Continuous image capturing is the new normal

Initial image data plays a crucial role in empowering the contractor to effectively oversee the maintenance contract. By capturing and documenting images of the contract area before the start of the work, the contractor gains valuable insights that inform strategic decision-making. This includes not only assessing the current condition of the roads but also prioritizing maintenance activities, allocating budget resources, monitoring progress, and resolving disputes with transparency and accuracy.

The utilization of images fosters a sense of accountability and trust between the contractor and the client. It serves as a visual record of the starting point, enabling both parties to track and evaluate the work done throughout the contract duration. This proactive approach not only enhances project efficiency but also ensures the delivery of high-quality maintenance services. Images will bring you 100% understanding of the status of your assets and how maintenance works are accomplished. The beginning and the end of maintenance projects can be easily reported with the images. Inventory work and traffic arrangement in big road construction and maintenance projects are also easy to supervise from the images.

The collection and analysis of captured image data not only streamline the maintenance process but also elevate the overall quality of service provided. It equips the contractor with the necessary tools and information to make the road maintenance contracts successfully, ultimately leading to improved outcomes and client and end-user satisfaction.
