Diamond Grinding & Next Generation Concrete Surface

The Carolinas Concrete Paving Association (CCPA) and Carolinas Ready Mixed Concrete Association (CRMCA) in partnership with the NCDOT (Divisions 13 and 14) are pleased to offer a 4-part series of 1-hour webinars during the month of June.  The sessions require individual registration and will be presented by industry and agency experts in their respective fields. 

This session "Diamond Grinding & Next Generation Concrete Surface" will explore how diamond grinding concrete pavements can improve surface characteristics such as ride, friction and tire-pavement noise. Various pavement surface textures will be compared in order to understand the benefits of diamond grinding both older and new pavements.
