Results of decade-long research by the IGGA



At the end of a decade-long research project performed by the IGGA, the results were clear. Conducted across Illinois, North Carolina and Oklahoma, the study confirmed that diamond-ground pavements last longer, perform better

and provide safer driving conditions.

 

Why Diamond Grinding Stands Out


  • Improves Longevity & Rideability: Gently removes the surface layer without damaging concrete, maintaining peak performance for years.


  • Enhances Safety: Optimized textures reduce tire noise and hydroplaning risks while boosting skid resistance.


  • Versatile & Proven Results: Delivers consistent performance across different pavement types and traffic levels. 



Key Findings from the Study

  • Illinois: Pavements on Bartlett Road stayed smooth and effective after nearly a decade in service.

  • North Carolina: NC Interstate 540 maintained excellent friction levels and texture quality despite light traffic conditions. 

  • Oklahoma: U.S. Route 69 showed improved textures at higher speeds, with all spacers delivering consistent results over time. 

 

Diamond-ground pavements work. This proven technique is your solution for safer, longer-lasting roads. Don’t just repair roads. Transform them.
