Pavement Marking Removal
Grinding and water-blasting with vacuum recovery for a clean surface.
PMI is equipped to perform stripe obliteration with grinding and water blasting methods.
PMI's water blasters are equipped with dual heads that increase productivity and reduce time on the road. Our water blasters have vacuum recovery systems that immediately remove debris and water from the roadway allowing surfaces to dry quickly and provide a clean surface ready for stripe application.
For stripe obliteration by grinding, PMI has state of the art truck mounted grinders with vacuum recovery systems. While water blasting causes a minimum amount of damage to the surface, grinding can be more efficient. Under certain extremely difficult applications, a combination of both methods is required.
