Runway Grooving

Roadgrip have been working closely with highways and airports on an international scale for the past 25 years to improve safety on roads and runways with antiskid grooving.

From large runway grooving projects to small concrete retexturing works in remote parts of the world, our teams are highly skilled and experienced in cutting parallel grooves into concrete or asphalt to improve macro texture and water drainage for added friction and safety.

Grooving has been shown to significantly improve drainage on airfield runways and reduce the risk of hydroplaning, making it safer for aircraft to take-off and land. If you’d like to learn more about how we’ve worked with airports in the UK and abroad, please see our projects.

In addition to surface friction testing, our expert teams can advise you on the most suitable way to retexture your surface for the highest performance in wet weather conditions.
