There are 6 other groovers from 300mm to 500mm wide heads. Our grooving fleet is un paralleled in Europe. All our machines, in addition to the provision of grooves to the required centre, pitch and depth specification, will automatically vacuum up the resultant slurry.

Only operatives with the requisite ability and experience are employed by Concrete Cutters (Sarum) Limited on these contracts. Tests by NASA in the USA have proved that a grooved runway should finish with a co-efficient of friction which, in the wet, equates to 85% of that when it is dry.

Grooving has become the proven, most cost effective way to increase the co-efficient of friction in the wet thus improving the take-off and landing distances of aircraft.
