With steady increase in asphalt prices over the years, the mill and overlay option is becoming far too expensive. Diamond grinding of pavement surfaces often meet and exceed the smoothness, friction and noise characteristics of the best asphalt surface treatments and can be half the cost of an asphalt overlay. The Buried Treasure concept using concrete pavement preservation (CPP) is a sound integration of engineering, economics and the environment.

Concrete pavement preservation (CPP) and diamond grinding are sustainable techniques that aid in the reduction of atmospheric carbon and greenhouse gas emissions. These methods not only enhance the longevity and performance of concrete pavements but also contribute to environmental sustainability.

Concrete pavement preservation (CPP) and diamond grinding are longstanding preservation techniques that contribute to sustainable infrastructure by significantly reducing environmental impact while enhancing safety and performance.

Subgrade repair comes in several forms, including slab stabilization (aka, undersealing and sub sealing), slab jacking, and medium and deep injection grouting. Subsurface restoration maintains the structural integrity of the slab and reduces pumping, faulting, and cracking.

Joint resealing protects pavement joints from water and incompressible. Uncontrolled water ingress, especially water from a pavement’s surface, can lead to spalling, base or subgrade softening, dowel bar corrosion, pavement joint blow-ups and/or materials-related distress. Performed alone, joint resealing is a maintenance activity. However, it is also an important part of the Concrete Pavement Preservation (CPP) toolbox.

Water, slush or wet snow on a runway surface can cause aircraft to skid upon landing. Runway diamond grooving is a time-and cost-effective way to rehabilitate older runways that are showing loss of friction. Diamond saw blades can be used to create grooves in both portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement and hot mix asphalt pavement.
