Smarter Road Planning in Rural Utah

Richfield City partnered with Jones & DeMille Engineering (JDE) and vialytics to bring clarity, transparency, and strategy to its road maintenance program. With limited budgets and growing demands from residents and elected officials, the City needed a modern approach to manage aging infrastructure and plan proactively for the future.

Richfield 100 E

Richfield City, UT

Located in the heart of central Utah, Richfield is the the region's largest city and commercial hub, with just over 7,100 residents. Known for its stunning scenery and rural character, Richfield plays a vital role as a healthcare, retail, and education center for surrounding communities. Despite its size, the City faces infrastructure challenges similar to larger municipalities - including aging infrastructure, limited funds, and the need to communicate clearly with stakeholders.

From Reactive Repairs to Data-Driven Planning

With support with JDE - a trusted partner headquartered in Richfield - the City implemented vialytics' AI-powered pavement assessment platform. Road conditions were captured using smartphone-based images, then analyzed by AI to deliver objective pavement scores across the entire network. 

JDE translated those results into a multi-year maintenance strategy aligned with Richfield's budget and priorities. City staff gained access to a user-friendly dashboard showing condition scores and recommended actions, allowing them to plan proactively and share clear justifications with the public and City Council. 

"We're not just getting a report. We're getting a living tool we can use year after year."
