The Diamond Product machine is a specialized piece of equipment imported with innovative road surface improvement technology. It has the potential to sustainably restore and enhance the quality of road surfaces in Thailand.
Diamond grinding is used to restore or improve the smoothness of concrete or asphalt pavements. It enhances ride quality, reduces noise, and extends the lifespan of the pavement by removing surface imperfections.
Diamond grooving is mainly performed to improve water drainage and increase friction, which enhances skid resistance. It is commonly used on airport runways and highway pavements to prevent hydroplaning.
Key Differences
- Grinding smooths out surface imperfections, making the pavement more even.
- Grooving creates channels in the pavement to improve drainage and skid resistance.
Grinding covers large areas, while grooving focuses on specific sections where drainage or friction needs improvement.
Improving Driving Quality for Comfort and Safety
Diamond Grinding:
- Smooths uneven surfaces to create a more even road, reducing impacts from rough pavement.
- Minimizes vibrations and vehicle wear.
- Enhances driver comfort, especially for long-distance travel, while improving safety.
Enhancing Safety
Diamond Grooving:
- Improves water drainage on road surfaces, increasing tire-road contact area, which reduces the risk of hydroplaning.
- Enhances skid resistance, significantly reducing stopping distances, making it crucial for high-speed highways and airport runways.
Noise Reduction
Both processes help reduce vehicle-generated noise.
- Diamond Grinding Diamond Grinding creates a smooth surface that minimizes tire noise.
- Diamond Grooving, or longitudinal grooving, can reduce noise by minimizing vibrations and tire noise.
