CHAPTER 5—DIAMOND GRINDING AND GROOVING December 19, 2007 5-2 Figure 5-2 Concrete pavement surface after diamond grooving. 5.1.2 Purpose Diamond Grinding The most common reason for diamond grinding is to remove roughness caused by excessive faulting of pavement joints.
Diamond Grinding New Pavement This grinding method is used to improve the ride quality and meet strict conditions. It also adds a corduroy skid-resistant texture, which is a proven process in extending pavement life with major safety benefits.
The process is an important element of concrete pavement restoration (CPR) and is used to restore or improve pavement rideability and enhance the inherent friction characteristics of concrete pavements. Diamond grinding was first used in 1965 to eliminate excessive faulting on a 19-year-old section of I-10 in southern California.
Diamond grinding is a concrete pavement restoration technique that corrects irregularities such as faulting and roughness on concrete pavements. Diamond grinding should be used in conjunction with other Concrete Pavement Rehabilitation (CPR) techniques.
Diamond grinding is a concrete pavement restoration process that renews a worn or slightly irregular surface. Diamond grinding can potentially remove or reduce some pavement deficiencies such as joint faults resulting from minor pavement settlement, worn pavement from wheel rutting, warped slabs, and a rough surface texture.
Tex Diamond grinding is a concrete pavement restoration (CPR) technique that improves friction characteristics while providing a smoother ride on concrete pavements (6). Typically, diamond grinding involves removing a thin layer off the top of the pavement using a stack of circular blades separated at regular and relatively

Stop grinding and immediately replace out-of-round wheels. 420.3.2.2 Continuous Grinding (1) Under the Continuous Diamond Grinding Concrete Pavement bid item, ensure that the grinding machine, including the grinding head, weighs 35,000 pounds or more, will grind a strip at least 4 feet wide, and has an effective wheel base of 25 feet or ...
{Di d i diDiamond grinding can t d t lif extend pavement life significantly at a competitive cost. {Diamond grinding is a key Preventive Maintenance tool. {Diamond grinding will increase customer satisfaction, increase friction, reduce noise and reduce life cycle costs. {Performance and cost vary with given conditions.
Diamond Grinding Diamond grinding is a concrete pavement restoration (CPR) technique that provides a smooth riding surface with the desirable friction characteristics on concrete pavements that have developed excessive roughness. Diamond grinding offers numerous advantages over other rehabilitation alternatives, including the following: Costs substantially less than an …
Approximately 500,000 sq yds of diamond grinding will be constructed by Diamond Surface, Inc.* of Minnesota. The existing rubberized asphalt has been previously removed leaving only a thin layer remaining to be removed along with the PCCP grinding, Larry says. This is the second diamond grinding project to occur this year on the Phoenix freeway.
Diamond grinding was first used as part of an engineered system to preserve PCC Pavement in 1965. Diamond Grinding Asphalt Pavement Indianapolis Motor Speedway Diamond ground asphalt surface Asphalt pavement can be ground and grooved just like concrete pavement. Diamond Ground Asphalt Surface What is Diamond Grinding?
In March 2009 Roads and Maritime Services conducted a trial of the diamond grinding technology to see if there was a large difference in noise levels after t...
Diamond Grinding and Grooving Pavement 1. Description. Diamond grind and groove existing pavement surfaces and remove resulting residue at locations shown on the plans or as directed. 2. Equipment. Provide machinery, tools, and equipment necessary for proper execution of the
Diamond grinding is a pavement preservation technique that corrects a variety of surface imperfections on both concrete and asphalt pavements. Most often utilized on concrete pavement, diamond grinding is typically performed in conjunction with other concrete pavement preservation (CPP) techniques such as road slab stabilization, full- and ...
Diamond grinding is a procedure used to restore or improve pavement ride quality and surface texture. Although diamond grinding has been an available restoration procedure since the 1960's, recent developments and increased experience have made diamond grinding and concrete pavement restoration the best first rehabilitation option for concrete pavements.

Diamond grinding is a well-established technology that has been utilized extensively since the 1960s to provide a smooth yet textured surface for existing concrete pavements that have been repaired adequately. Diamond grinding in combination with other repairs can reduce the existing pavement International Roughness Index (IRI) from 20 to 80
Why Concrete Diamond Grinding is the Best Option for Surface Restoration. Concrete diamond grinding is one of the most cost-efficient ways to restore imperfect surfaces. This provides a smoother finish by removing or reducing pavement irregularities, such as humps, spalled areas at joints, and cracks. While this used to be an expensive ...
Diamond Grinding. Diamond grinding removes the imperfections caused by heavy usage or construction. The result is an improvement in smoothness, skid resistance, surface texture, and safety. Diamond grinding is a reliable option for correcting pavement that has been found out of spec or failed to pass a ride test.
