Anti-skid grooving is used to increase the friction of a wet surface by removing surface water. Jointline have many years experience in the installation of anti-skid grooving to asphalt and concrete runways at airfields both in the UK and Worldwide. It is also possible to install anti-skid grooving on highways to give additional surface grip.

Grooving involves saw cutting horizontal grooves into the surface.  This helps any water on the surface dissipate more quickly increasing surface friction and reducing the chances of aquaplaning. As each job is unique we identify the correct depths of grooves and groove spacing to maximise the efficiency of water dissipation for your surface.

Jointline has an extensive selection of EURO-6 compliant plant to cut grooves to the required centre, pitch and depth specification that also automatically vacuum up the resultant spoil leaving the work area clean and free of debris.

Grooving has become the proven, most cost effective way to increase the co-efficient of friction in the wet. To find out more on how Jointline can help with the installation of anti-skid grooving, contact Simon Peaker: simon.peaker@jointline.co.uk
