Faced with limited funding for both capital improvements and maintenance, roads and airfield managers are facing serious challenges to economically replace or repair concrete surfaces. Busier roads are also creating environmental issues with traffic noise. In some cases, the service life can be extended, skid resistance increased & traffic noise reduced using techniques known as Concrete pavement restoration methods.

These include minor concrete slab repair, diamond grinding the surface, and resealing joints.

When done at the proper time, these repairs can bring new life to streets and roads and are less expensive than asphalt overlays. Concrete Pavement Restoration (CPR).CPR is a is a viable alternative to thin asphalt overlays, which have been proven time and again to be nothing more than short-term solutions. CPR techniques have been shown to add 12 to 15 years of service life to a roadway, compared with asphalt overlays, which provide between 2 and 5 years. Equally important, the costs are about the same for either method.

Diamond Grinding / concrete profiling
We can remove top 2mm to 6mm of pavement using our PC150 machine. Or smooth out bumps up to 10mm on new or existing pavements.
Advantages
• Removes bumps, quiets noisy pavements• Does not affect ground-level or overhead structures
• Does not reduce gutter capacity• Does not require expense driveway tie-ins
• Requires only minimal traffic control requirements• Cost less than a typical asphalt overlay
