Next Generation Concrete Surface NGCS refers to a concrete surface designed to reduce noise levels without tires losing their grip on the road surface NGCS uses a combination of diamond grinding and grooving on the concrete surface to achieve this Diamond Surface Inc are experts at NGCS
Another texture is that developed by diamond grinding of Portland cement concrete pavements Grinding is done to bring the pavement back to newpavement smoothness tolerance About the Author Concrete Construction Staff Advertisement Keywords Subject Grinding and Grooving
Documentation Requirements – 257 Diamond Grinding Portland Cement Concrete Pavement Description 25701 This work consists of diamond grinding a rigid concrete pavement normally the full width of the lane to eliminate transverse cracking and transverse joint faulting The work results in a longitudinal "corduroy" texture
For example diamond grinding can substantially reduce the roughness on a faulted rigid pavement but it will not address the cause of faulting nor will it prevent roughness in the future as a result of additional faulting Because the grinding head is cooled with water a byproduct of diamond grinding is a slurry of ground PCC particles and
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 partialdepth repair dowel bar retrofit cross
SECTION 62240 DIAMOND GRINDING OF NEW PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE PAVEMENT 622401 Description This work shall consist of grinding new Portland cement concrete pavement to provide good riding characteristics and surface texture The finished surface shall be as shown on the plans 622402 Equipment
Diamond grinding of aging Portland cement concrete PCC pavements renews the pavement''s skidresistance and provides a smootherriding pavement And the resulting smoother profile reduces dynamic loading on the pavement thus extending its service life
