grinding in Portland cement concrete pavements. Diamond grinding consists of removing surface irregularities from concrete pavements that are often caused by faulting, curling, and warping of the slabs. The main benefits of properly using this technique include smoother ride, reduced road noise, and improved friction.

In grinding, leveling, and re-texturing PCC pavements, pavement waste can be removed and collected in one step, and hauled to a concrete batching plant capable of receiving and recycling used material. PCC grinding generates volumes of very fine particles that are controlled by using a wet-vacuum system.
Diamond grinding is a widely-used rehabilitation technique usually referred to as resurfacing of Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement. As a maintenance operation, diamond grinding can provide a smooth PCC surface with enhanced texture and skid resistance and reduced road noise.
For. rehabbed PCC pavements, the department is planning to lengthen. its 10-plus year extension of surface pavement life philosophy. to 20 to 25 years before major rehabilitation becomes necessary. Field practice. Taking part in four of the diamond-. grinding projects, totaling more than $15 million in contracts.

Diamond grinding (Figure 1) refers to a process where gang-mounted diamond saw blades (Figures 2 and 3) are used to shave off a thin, 1.5 – 19 mm (0.06 – 0.75 inch) top layer of an existing PCC surface in order to restore smoothness and friction characteristics. Most often, it is used to restore roadway friction or remove roughness caused by faulting, studded tire wear, …

covers those activities and maintenance treatments for concrete pavements (PCC). These include the following: • Temporary patching of PCC pavements • Permanent patching of PCC Pavements • Shoulder repairing • Crack and joint sealing and contracted crack and joint sealing • Grinding • Mud jacking Purpose
What is Diamond Grinding? Removal of thin surface layer of hardened PCC using closely spaced diamond saw blades Results in smooth, level pavement surface Provides a longitudinal texture with desirable friction and low noise characteristics Frequently performed in conjunction with other CPP techniques, such as full-depth repair,
• In 1983, CPR was conducted on this same pavement section, including the use of additional grinding to restore the rideability and skid resistance of the surface. In 1997, the process was repeated • Since its first use in 1965, the use of diamond grinding has grown to become a major element of PCC pavement preservation
PCC rehabilitation – v Rubblization of old PCC on NHS and remaining arterial routes can be a viable rehabilitation strategy under the right conditions. v Diamond grinding existing PCC pavements with moderate faulting on NHS and remaining arterial routes is an optimum rehabilitation strategy if no subgrade stability problems are evident.
