Diamond highway grinding is a proven and cost effective means of restoring vehicle ride quality. When properly done, highway grinding & rehabilitation also extends pavement life while increasing skid resistance. Rehabilitated roads and runways shed water faster, reduce hydroplaning and improve braking ability.

Old and new bridge decks can benefit from grinding and profiling, which extends the life of the bridge deck by eliminating wheel hop. Our grinding equipment is capable of corrective (bump) grinding or continuous grinding depending on the job requirements. Atlantic Concrete Cutting's state-of-the-art equipment and skilled operators ensures that your project will be completed on time and within your budget.

Scarifying is a fast, aggressive type of concrete grinding that leaves a rough surface finish. The equipment uses a rotating drum with several carbide tips to "chip away" at the concrete surface. It is mainly used as a surface preparation to ensure a clean, rough surface - which is mandatory for strong adhesion of a top layer of concrete or asphalt. Atlantic uses strong vacuum attachments to ensure a dust-free operation.

Shot blasting, like scarifying, is mainly used as a surface preparation to ensure a clean, rough surface - which is mandatory for strong adhesion of a top layer of concrete or asphalt. The equipment propels hundreds of steel balls downward into the concrete effectively chipping the concrete surface. The balls are recycled into the equipment and used continuously throughout the process. Because of the nature of the process, the resulting finish of shot blasting tends to be more random when compared to the finished pattern of scarifying.
