This partnership delivers full-service pavement management solutions across the continental United States.
CARY, NC, UNITED STATES, July 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — WithersRavenel and IMS Infrastructure Management Services (IMS) have announced a partnership to deliver full-service pavement management solutions for federal, state, and local governments across the continental United States.
The partnership brings together IMS’ pavement condition survey, sidewalk condition survey, and pavement structural testing capabilities and WithersRavenel’s infrastructure asset management, lifecycle planning, and pavement management expertise. Together, the firms will help clients collect precise, decision-ready pavement data and translate that information into practical maintenance strategies, capital improvement plans, and long-term investment decisions.
IMS provides advanced pavement condition surveys, sidewalk condition surveys, and pavement structural testing that capture detailed distress, 3D condition data, and subsurface structural insights, helping agencies assess network conditions efficiently and safely. WithersRavenel extends that data through lifecycle planning, scenario analysis, GIS integration, funding strategy, and implementation support.
With more than 119 Lifecycle Modeling clients across the U.S., WithersRavenel helps communities, agencies, and infrastructure owners evaluate current conditions, forecast future needs, and align investment strategies with available resources and desired levels of service.
“Many strong pavement programs connect what communities know about their infrastructure today with what they want to achieve tomorrow,” said Becca Ruffin, Director of WR Technologies at WithersRavenel. “IMS provides a clear picture of the current health of a community’s pavement network, and WithersRavenel helps leaders use that information to guide maintenance strategies, funding decisions, and long-term planning. Together, we’re helping communities turn today’s reality into tomorrow’s possibilities.”
“The best pavement data only creates value when it leads to action,” said Mollie Rhett, Director of Marketing at ICC-IMS. “We deliver precise, decision-ready condition data, and WithersRavenel brings the lifecycle planning that turns it into smarter maintenance and funding strategies. This partnership gives communities a complete path from the field to the future of their network.”
WithersRavenel’s pavement management program helps clients move from reactive maintenance to proactive, data-driven planning. The firm has surveyed and rated more than 30,000 centerline miles of municipal roads in the Southeast and supports clients with pavement condition surveys, Pavement Condition Index evaluations, maintenance and repair recommendations, cost estimates, capital improvement planning, and pavement management system implementation.
The partnership also supports broader infrastructure asset management goals by helping clients compare funding scenarios, evaluate cost and service level tradeoffs, and communicate the long-term impact of infrastructure investment decisions.
