produce a uniform finished surface free of joint or crack faults (Figure 9.4.) and provide positive
lateral surface drainage. The removal of slurry residue resulting from the grinding operation
should be continuous. Grinding slurry should not be permitted to flow across adjacent lanes into
gutters or other drainage facilities.
9.6. Acceptance Testing. After completion of the grinding and texturing, the pavement should
be tested for smoothness. The pavement should meet the surface tolerance for a new pavement
as required by the specifying agency. The test equipment to be used in the acceptance testing
should be the same as that used in the initial evaluation and should be specified along with
procedures to be followed in acceptance testing. The grinding must not reduce the thickness of
the pavement enough to affect the load-carrying capability of the pavement.
