What is Retexturing?
Retexturing is the reworking of the original surface to restore 
skidding resisitance, texture depth or both.

What is Bush Hammering?
The method of retexturing offered by the group of companies 
working with Klaruw Systems is referred to as Bush Hammering 
or K190 Retexturing. This controlled process involves using 
tungsten carbide tips mounted on pneumatic bush hammers.

Where can K190 Retexturing be used?
All sound surface, which contain naturally occuring aggregate can be 
retextured to restore skidding resistance. Supporting documentation 
can be found in: DMRB Vol.7 Section % Chapter 11 Part 2 HD 37/99.

Why should K190 Retexturing be used?
Klaruw K190 Retexturing reduces wet skid crashes and associated 
casualties (Crashes switch off - ref Hertfordshire study). Retexturing 
resolves skidding problems quickly with minimum traffic disruption.

How long will it last?
Klaruw Systems K190 Retexturing will restore skid resistance back
to day one conditions. As with any new surface, polishing of aggregate
will occur depending on PSV of aggregate, volumes of heavy traffic,
type of site and the extent to which weathering contributes towards skid 
resistance.
