Grooving, Grinding & Texturing

Mattiola has several machines of various sizes to accommodate the multitude of grooving applications.  Safety grooving has proven its value over the years on highway and in commercial use for reducing accidents on slippery concrete or asphalt surfaces.  Our gas-powered and electric-powered grinding equipment quickly and economically removes unwanted concrete and foreign material from the tops of slabs and smoothes concrete at its joints.  Concrete and asphalt texturing is mainly performed to reduce wet-weather accidents caused by skidding and hydroplaning.  Mattiola creates the appropriate spacing, width, and depth of the texture during construction by dragging various materials or tools across the fresh concrete—ideal for the bonding of tile or an additional concrete layer.

Typical applications include:
