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.
