Grinding and Grooving

Grinding and grooving technology is an innovative method for the targeted surface texturing of busy traffic areas. Currently it can be expected that this form of surface treatment will become the new standard for concrete roads. Depending on the chosen texture, the road surface’s future performance characteristics can be produced with precision.

METHOD

Grinding:

  • Grinding for evenness – eliminates road unevenness
  • Grinding for texture – produces a defined surface texture specific to requirements

Grooving:

  • Grooves with greater depths and distances than grinding improve drainage properties

ADVANTAGES

Increase in road safety

Protection of the environment through reduction of tyre-road noise and rolling resistance

Texture design according to the latest scientific developments

Can be used on new and existing surfaces in concrete and asphalt

Elimination of accident hotspots in areas of changing gradients

Optimisation of evenness for better driving comfort and longer road surface service life (minimisation of dynamic wheel load)

Reduction of the risk of aquaplaning

Short closure times due to powerful machine technology

Transparency and quality control through accompanying measurements
