US-50 in Rancho Cordova, California, enhanced ride quality and noise reduction through the implementation of the Next Generation Concrete Surface (NGCS). NGCS provided a quieter and more comfortable driving experience, supported by diamond grinding and longitudinal grooving. Caltrans closely monitored the suitability, skid resistance, and quietness of the NGCS, leading to its adoption across the state. The success of these projects, often referred to by Caltrans as "Grind and Groove," has resulted in substantial noise reduction and improved surface smoothness, satisfying both taxpayers and residents.

A runway section at Eielson Air Force Base in Fairbanks, Alaska, saw rehabilitation through diamond grinding and joint resealing. Diamond grinding restored the runway's condition, and joint resealing prevented water infiltration. These methods extended the runway's service life. The project, which saved significant time and money, was completed almost a month ahead of schedule, ensuring a safer and more efficient surface for the 354th Fighter Wing's operations.

A highway in Reno, Nevada, underwent a significant rehabilitation project using dowel bar retrofit (DBR) and diamond grinding. DBR restored load transfer, and diamond grinding improved pavement performance. One year following project completion, the improved International Roughness Index (IRI) indicated a significantly smoother ride.

I-64 in West Virginia experienced significant rehabilitation work as part of West Virginia Governor Jim Justice’s “Roads to Prosperity” Highway Plan using full depth concrete repair (FDR). FDR addressed structural issues and restored the pavement's functionality, demonstrating the effectiveness of this method. Governor Justice's visit to the jobsite underscored the project's success and his commitment to infrastructure improvement.

In response to noise complaints received by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), I-75 in Troy, Ohio was rehabilitated using diamond grinding and dowel bar retrofit (DBR) to maintain pavement smoothness and extend lifespan. The project also included the removal of the existing transverse tined surface and diamond grinding of four small bridge overpasses. The work resulted in noise reductions ranging from two to nine decibels and a smoother ride. These techniques proved effective in enhancing pavement performance and durability.

I-90 in Wall, South Dakota underwent rehabilitation with diamond grinding, covering asphalt to improve ride quality and safety. This technique proved to be a cost-effective alternative to traditional milling and overlaying, reducing costs by 67% to 75%. The project also included slab stabilization and joint resealing to maintain structural integrity and prevent water ingress. The successful completion validated diamond grinding as an effective method for enhancing asphalt roadways.
