International Grooving & Grinding Association: State DOT Specifications

The following is a table which links to standard specifications for construction from the states in the U.S. that have concrete pavement restoration (CPR) and preservation specifications. CPR includes techniques such as:

Bridge Deck Grinding (BDG)
Cross-Stitching (X-ST)
Diamond Grinding (DG)
Diamond Grooving (GRV)
Dowel Bar Retrofit (DBR)
Full-Depth Repair (FDR)
Joint & Crack Repair (JCR)
Joint & Crack Re-sealing (RES)
Partial-Depth Repair (PDR)
Slab Stabilization (SS)

If you have any questions regarding these techniques, or any state spec in particular, or if you know of a spec which is not listed, please feel free to contact John Roberts of the IGGA.

DISCLAIMER: DO NOT use these for preparing contractual documents. These are provided here for information only and despite our best efforts to keep them current, some may be out of date. Also, it should be noted that some states may perform their CPR activities under special provisions that are project-specific, and not specifications. If available, those special provisions are provided here as well.
