Grinding

High Production long-line truck-mounted equipment is utilized in major highway traffic switches, and smaller truck-mounted units are available for intersection work and small traffic switches.

Tape
Zone Striping owns and operates the industry’s most noted brand of Hydro-Milling (also known as Water-Blasting) equipment. This equipment is not only the most production oriented but the most versatile units currently available. The equipment is able to remove highway long-line and short-line markings as well as runway and taxiway markings. Its self contained water recovery system not only makes the process one simple step, but also is environmentally friendly as it is able to recycle the water while separating the removal debris.
Thermoplastic
Shot-Blasting is most commonly utilized as a surface preparation technique for the installation of pavement markings when applied to a concrete roadway or runway surface. Zone Striping operates the industry standard in shot-blasting equipment. This equipment safely and effectively removes concrete curing compound without damaging the surface. This allows pavement markings and adhesives to penetrate the surface and provide proper bonding and adhesion. Zone’s factory-trained operators and shot-blasting equipment are well suited to perform concrete surface preparation.
