cambering
Adding road crown
Cambering is tilting or curving a surface—typically a road, track, or wing—so it slopes from a central high point toward the edges.
Roads are cambered to shed water; aircraft wings are cambered to generate lift.
The crew spent the morning cambering the racetrack's turns.
