BRIDGE & TUNNEL

Elevated roadways are more susceptible to freezing and need texture to keep vehicle tires running on aggregate peaks instead of water and ice. Alternative methods of applying surface material to achieve texture and add dead load weight to the structure are expensive and create time-consuming lane closures.

Skidabrader™ simultaneously increases texture, drainage, and friction in existing pavement. Steel and synthetic joints are completely unharmed and need not be protected or altered. Traffic disruption is minimal, and paint lines can be left in place if desired.

The Skidabrader surface modification has been chosen for many high-profile bridge projects worldwide, including the Pontchartrain Bridge. Using 3 Skidabrader machines, 95 miles of 14′ lane and shoulder were completed in 25 working days.
