SC22211 Data System to Support Highway Condition Surveys

the Kent County Council (KCC) owns and maintains a substantial highway network, with our roads and footways being by far our largest asset group.

The Council must ensure it achieves the most value and the best long-term condition for its road and footway assets. To do this, the Council needs to understand the condition of its assets to target planned works at the locations where it will deliver the most value. The Council achieves this by regularly surveying the condition of its roads and footways. The results of these surveys are used to measure and report the overall network condition, identify sites for works where it is likely to achieve the best outcomes and undertake strategic modelling of asset condition in the future.

The council requires a data system to feed the survey results into, for further analysis. The data service is used to carry out complex lifecycle modelling, allowing for better planning and management of the asset.
