Runway Grooving Benefits
Runway Grooving Benefits
Enhanced Friction:
Reduce the risk of hydroplaning and increase aircraft traction, especially during adverse weather conditions.
Improved Braking Performance:
Shorter landing distances and improved control during deceleration are made possible from improved runway friction.
Extended Pavement Lifespan:
Minimize surface deterioration and pavement maintenance costs by mitigating the effects of water accumulation and surface wear.
Operational Efficiency:
Maintain operational continuity by ensuring reliable runway performance in various weather conditions, reducing delays and disruptions.
Runway Re-Grooving
Runway Re-Grooving
Restore Runway Friction: Roadworx offers innovative runway grooving and re-grooving services to extend the longevity and performance of both rigid and flexible pavements.
Address Groove Deterioration: Ideal for runways with groove distress such as wear, closure, rubber deposits, rounding, and erosion. Re-grooving the existing profile in bituminous HMA or concrete surfaces ensures proper drainage and skid resistance.
Ensure Compliance: We measure groove depth and width to prevent hydroplaning and maintain FAA-mandated friction values. Our experienced team provides evaluations and surveys to improve critical groove failure areas.

Restore runway friction with runway re-grooving. Roadworx offers airports runway grooving and re-grooving of rigid, and flexible pavements an innovative technique to extend the longevity, performance, and functionality of those pavements.
Re-grooving is an alternative for runways with groove deterioration. Types of groove distress include normal wear, groove closure, rubber deposits, rounding, and erosion. Groove collapse commonly occurs in wheel line rutting areas. This innovative technique consists of re-grooving the existing groove profile in bituminous HMA or concrete runway surface by using existing grooves and alignment.
Structural maintenance of the macro texture is essential for proper drainage and skid resistance:
"Periodically, the airport operator should measure the depth and width of a runway's grooves to check for wear and damage. When 40 percent of the grooves in the runway are equal to or less than 1/8 inch (3 mm) in-depth and/or width for a distance of 1,500 feet (457 m), the grooves' effectiveness for preventing hydroplaning has been considerably reduced. The airport operator should take immediate corrective action to reinstate the 1/4 inch (6 mm) groove depth and/or width."
Roadworx can evaluate your runway grooving macro texture condition and provide you with a survey necessary to improve critical groove failure areas. We have the equipment, knowledge, and experienced personnel which ensures our clients maintain the acceptable friction value mandated by the FAA for runways and high-speed turn-offs.
