Why do texture-grinding (micro-grinding)?
Diamond-grinding of concrete pavement is a standard Caltrans pavement rehabilitation strategy to smooth the riding surface of concrete pavement that still has good structural qualities. Previous studies suggest grinding pavement can reduce noise generated from concrete pavement similar to the pavement on Route 85. In addition, studies show that the higher frequencies of noise, which are troubling to the human ear, are expected to be reduced by grinding.
