Corrective and Profile Grinding

Corrective Action: Corrective Grinding and Profile Grinding

Profile grinding and corrective grinding are used to restore pavement profiles and improve surface smoothness and texture. Both involve grinding the pavement to achieve a desired profile, enhancing road safety and ride quality with minimal disruption.

The Benefits

  • Restoration

    Effectively restores surface alignment and profile.

  • Smoothness

    Improves surface texture and ride quality.

  • Applications

    Highways, runways, and bridge decks

When To Use

Corrective grinding focuses on repairing localized surface imperfections on concrete pavements. It is primarily used to address specific areas that have issues such as bumps, dips, or rough patches that can affect the smoothness and safety of the pavement.

Profile grinding is used for comprehensive surface correction of larger pavement areas. This method grinds down the surface of the entire pavement to achieve a consistent and smooth profile, improving overall pavement texture and friction.
