Hi Guys,
Just needing some advice in regard how you guys handle removing line marking coatings off asphalt on motorways. In Australia it is normally done by sandblasting leaving an extremely etched surface. I have been called in to see if my method of using our water blast system with the injection of Armex Blast Media and Garnet will do the work. Has anybody encountered this before? How was it overcome & was it successful? The other issue is dealing with thermoplastic coatings on pedestrian crossings & lane changing arrows. If I add heat to the mixture it will create a sticky mess thus cleanup being an issue. If anybody out there can provide expertise or solutions it would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Steve Wilson
