Grooving
Description
The purpose for grooving surfaces is to reduce drying time and eliminate hydroplaning on wet roads and runways. The advantage of increased drying time improves skid resistance and increases traction on slippery, hi traffic area.
Application
Safety grooving is not just limited to roads and airport runways, it can be used for any application where slipping is an issue. These include but are not limited to:
- Dairy farms and horse stables
- High traffic path ways
- Swimming pool areas
- Factory floors with forklift traffic
Depth
The groover blades can be adjusted to any centre widths that is specified by the client generic widths are as follows:
- Airport Runways
- 6mm wide x 6mm deep x 32mm centres transverse grooves
- Farm and Stables
- 6mm wide x 6mm deep x 50mm centres longitudinal groves (except in holding areas)
Types Of Groover
-
Small Groover
- Used in tight areas such as holding pens
- Large Groover
- Used in larger areas such as factory floors
- Airport Groover
- Used on airport re-sheeting and patch works
