Geotechnical Asset Management

The Department’s Geotechnical Asset Management (GAM) Program Overview and Gateway is under development in parallel with our Transportation Asset Management Program. GAM incorporates performance and risk management principles in managing assets such as material sites, rock and soil slopes, embankments and retaining walls. These assets have a vital role in providing raw materials to build our roads and airports, as well as physically supporting our transportation assets and structures. The Statewide Materials Geotechnical Services group is actively conducting research to guide development of GAM principles and practices.
