DIAMOND GRINDING

DIAMOND GRINDING

Using the highest quality grinding and dust extraction equipment, we can grind away residues such as coatings, adhesives and epoxies, and smooth out imperfections, preparing your concrete slab for a new surface.

Diamond grinding is technique that corrects a variety of surface imperfections on both asphalt and concrete pavements focus on the preservation of those pavements. Most often utilized on concrete pavement, diamond grinding is typically performed in conjunction with other concrete pavement preservation techniques such as full- and partial-depth repair, dowel bar retrofit, cross stitching longitudinal cracks or joints and joint and crack resealing.

PROCESS

  1. Evaluation and Preparation:
    Assess the pavement's condition and identify surface imperfections. Prepare the area by cleaning debris and ensuring proper drainage. Mark out any areas needing special attention, such as joints or cracks.
  2. Grinding Setup:
    Select the appropriate diamond grinding equipment based on the pavement's material and condition. Choose the right diamond grinding blades with the suitable grit size for the desired level of surface texture and correction.
  3. Initial Grinding Pass:
    Perform an initial coarse grinding pass to remove surface irregolarities, bumps, and minor cracks. Achieve the desired profile depth uniformly across the pavement.
  4. Fine Grinding Passes:
    Execute several finer grinding passes to refine the surface and achieve the desired texture. Gradually reduce the blade's grit size to achieve a smoother finish.
  5. Surface Restoration:
    Address any specific problem areas identified earlier, such as repairing joints, spalls, or significant cracks.
  6. Final Surface Inspection:
    Inspect the ground surface for uniformity, smoothness, and texture. Ensure that the pavement's new profile meets the required specifications.
  7. Application of Surface Treatments (Optional):
    Apply any desired surface treatments like sealants, coatings, or overlays to enhance durability and longevity.

BENEFITS

  1. Improved Smoothness:
    Diamond grinding restores pavement smoothness, reducing vehicle vibration and driver discomfort.
  2. Enhanced Skid Resistance:
    The process creates a textured surface that improves skid resistance, especially in wet conditions, reducing the risk of accidents.
  3. Longevity:
    Diamond grinding removes surface defects and prevents their progression, extending the life of the pavement.
  4. Reduced Noise:
    The textured surface reduces tire-pavement noise, contributing to a quieter driving experience.
  5. Cost-Effectiveness:
    Diamond grinding is a cost-effective alternative to complete pavement replacement, saving money and resources.
  6. Sustainability:
    By preserving existing pavement, diamond grinding reduces the need for new materials, energy, and waste generation.
FAQ

FAQ

Diamond grinding is effective for both asphalt and concrete pavements, but the suitability depends on the pavement's condition and the desired outcome.

Frequency depends on factors like traffic load, climate, and pavement condition. Generally, it's performed every 5-10 years.

Initially, the surface may be rough, but subsequent passes create a smoother finish. The goal is to achieve a balance between texture and smoothness.

The time varies depending on factors like pavement area, severity of imperfections, and equipment used. It can typically take a few hours to complete a section.

Diamond grinding generates some dust, but measures are taken to control and contain it. It is considered an environmentally friendly method compared to full pavement replacement.

Diamond grinding is effective for correcting surface defects, but major structural issues may require more extensive repairs or rehabilitation methods.

Over 15 years industry experience, we work to ensure you can achieve your required deadlines, with exceptional customer service and communication throughout the entire process.
