Grinding & Grooving
Grinding and Grooving of Highways, Bridges, and Overpasses
Road grinding is an effective technique used to correct surface irregularities on pavement. By removing a layer of the surface, we eliminate waves, ruts, and other imperfections while preserving the original road profile.
This solution offers many benefits:
- Improved comfort and ride quality
- Significant extension of pavement lifespan
- Increased grip and road safety
- Impoved fuel mileage
At Construction S.R.B. SCC, we have a fleet of specialized equipment tailored to the specific needs of each project. Our expertise allows us to deliver precise and durable interventions, optimizing the performance of road infrastructures.
Grooving of Highways, Bridges, and Overpasses
Grooving uses equipment similar to grinding but serves a different purpose: it creates a specific texture on concrete pavement surfaces to improve traction and reduce rolling noise.
Over time, concrete roads, bridges, and overpasses wear down and become smoother, reducing their friction coefficient.
Grooving is an effective solution that:
- Enhances long-term traction, improving user safety
- Significantly reduces rolling noise, especially on concrete pavements
- Complements grinding without altering the pavement profile
- Improves fuel cost- better mileage.
Grooving is a common practice in the United States, particularly on highways and airport runways, where its effectiveness has been proven. Although its adoption is still limited in Canada, numerous studies by the International Grooving & Grinding Association confirm its benefits.
At Construction S.R.B. SCC, we leverage our expertise and specialized equipment to help maintain safer, higher-performing road infrastructures.
Grinding for Factories and Farms
Grinding and grooving concrete floors are effective solutions to improve traction and safety in barns, factories, and other facilities. By removing a thin layer of concrete (1/8″ – 1/4″), we create a uniform, non-slip texture that significantly reduces the risk of slips and injuries to livestock — a major concern for farmers.
Benefits of Floor Grinding and Grooving:
- Improved traction coefficient, reducing falls and injuries
- Cost-effective and durable solution that minimizes financial losses due to accidents
- Optimal surface preparation for membrane and coating applications
Diamond grinding
Diamond grinding is also an ideal technique for correcting irregularities in concrete slabs and ensuring optimal adhesion before membrane application. Whether removing asphalt residue or leveling the surface, this method guarantees a flawless finish ready for a new coating.
