IGGA Guide Specification: Longitudinal Grooving for Bridge Decks
This standard specifies the procedures for continuous diamond grooving of portland cement
concrete bridge decks and approach slabs. Longitudinal grooving shall be performed using multiple diamond blades mounted on a self-propelled machine designed for diamond grooving concrete pavement and bridge decks. The grooving equipment shall have a depth control device enabling adjustment of the cutting head height to maintain the specified groove depth.
