Pavement Marking Removal

Line Striping Removal & Road Marking Removal

Striping Technology evaluates projects one client at a time. We’ll weigh factors like the type of pavement marking to be removed, surface condition and cost effectiveness.

When You Need Pavement Marking Removal

One of the most common reasons project facilitators call us for pavement marking removal is changing traffic patterns. Sometimes accident statistics indicate the need for change. Road expansion creates a need for adjusted signals, and pavement marking removal is needed before applying new.

During construction, traffic experts detour traffic to avoid work zones, and they need to create lane shifts. Pavement marking removal prepares surfaces to avoid confusion. 

Pavement Marking Removal Methods

Griding

Grinding is one of the most widely used, fastest, and least expensive ways to remove pavement marking. If you're not concerned about scarring, it might be the way to go.

Water Blasting

Remove markings without damaging the surfaces beneath with water blasting. This option takes longer than grinding, but keeps pavement and asphalt safe.

Covering

Covering involves black thermoplastic pavement marking or black-out tape. When you need a quick or temporary solution, covering hides lines and symbols rather than acting as pavement marking removal.

Questions that Decide Pavement Marking Removal Methods

Striping Technology, L.P. applies industry best practices when choosing the best method of pavement marking removal. Our pros evaluate your site and ask questions like these:

  • What type of material created the pavement marking in the first place?
  • What type of surface is underneath, and what shape is it in?
  • Why is the removal necessary?
  • How important is speed of pavement marking removal?
  • What’s the budget?
  • Will we be applying new marking, or does the surface just need the old removed?
  • How can we best minimize driver confusion and prevent accidents?
