IGGA Guide Specification: Conventional Diamond Grinding for Pavement Preservation
This standard specifies the procedures for operations of continuous diamond grinding portland cement concrete (PCC) or asphalt concrete pavement and roadway surfaces to provide desired surface characteristics such as ride, friction and drainage.
Application(s)
Airport/Airfield, Bridge, Highway, Industrial, Race Track, City/Municipal
Technique(s)
Diamond Grinding
Issue(s)
Friction/Safety, Smoothness, Structural/Material Issues, Sustainability/Environmental, Tire/Pavement Noise
IGGA Guide Specification: Dowel Bar Retrofit (DBR)
This standard specifies the procedures for construction of dowel bar retrofit on existing portland cement concrete roadways. Dowel bar retrofit (DBR) consists of installing epoxy-coated, smooth, round dowel bars into existing concrete pavement across transverse joints and/or cracks. Slots are cut using diamond-tipped saw blades; the concrete is removed using lightweight jackhammers.
Application(s)
Airport/Airfield, City/Municipal, Highway, Industrial
