Diamond Grinding Was Invented in California
Diamond grinding was first used in California in 1965 on a 19-year old section of I-10 to eliminate significant faulting (Neal and eliminate significant faulting (Neal and Woodstrom 1976). In 1983, CPR was conducted on this same pavement section including the use of pavement section, including the use of additional grinding to restore the rideability and skid resistance of the surface. In 1997, the process was repeatedthe process was repeated.Since its first use in 1965, the use of diamond grinding has grown to become a major l t f PCC t tielement of PCC pavement preservation.

Safety, Surface Texture and Friction
Increased macrotexture of diamond ground Increased macrotexture of diamond ground pavement surface provides for improved drainage of water at tire-pavement interfaceLongitudinal texture provides directional Longitudinal texture provides directional stability and reduces hydroplaning (side-force friction) Grooves provide “escape route” for water trapped between tire and pavement water trapped between tire and pavement surfaceIn Wisconsin, overall accident rates for ground surfaces were 40% less than for un-gground surfaces over a 6-year period, 57% in wet weather conditions(Drakopoulos et al. 1998)

Costs
Depends on —Aggregate and PCC mix properties;Average depth of removal;Smoothness specifications;Si f h jSize of the project;Work schedule;
Cost effective whether used alone or as part of a comprehensive CPR program. In most cases, the cost of diamond grinding is only about half the cost cost of diamond grinding is only about half the cost of bituminous overlay.
