Rehabilitation Program

The rehabilitation program is focused on the preservation of highway infrastructure and the performance of the highway system. The management of the rehabilitation program is directed at maximizing infrastructure performance, minimizing cost, and maximizing budgets. The success of the program is founded on sound infrastructure engineering practices, to deliver a cost effective program that is fully integrated with the Ministry's highway maintenance and capital construction programs.

The Rehabilitation Group is responsible for managing the information about the condition of the highway system infrastructure, to make better use of it, reducing the demand for new facilities. The group undertakes a range of activities to recommend strategic investment decisions to ensure the highest priority infrastructure projects are undertaken. The group is also responsible for developing and implementing methodologies that support decision making, providing services that include data collection, quality audits and assurance, generating policies and procedures, and providing technical expertise assessment and analysis.

The Rehabilitation Group then provides technical guidelines on asset management for the planning and programming of the Rehabilitation Programs (Road and Bridge resurfacing, Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation, Safety Programs, and Seismic Retrofitting) projects. In addition, the Rehabilitation Group is responsible for the month to month monitoring of the delivery of the Rehabilitation, Capital Expansion, Oil and Gas Industry roads rehabilitation, and Minor Capital Improvements Programs projects.
