Smets ARC-1600 – High-performance waterblasting for clean, safe, and adhesion-ready road surfaces.

Sustainable, Safe & Cost Effective Surface Maintenance for Airports & Highways

In the ever-evolving world of infrastructure and road maintenance, Smets Technology stands as a beacon of innovation and excellence. With cutting-edge equipment designed to meet the demands of modern transportation systems, Smets Technology has redefined how surfaces are cleaned, maintained, and restored. From rubber removal on airport runways to brightening asphalt for enhanced visibility, their versatile solutions ensure safety, efficiency, and sustainability across various industries.

Unmatched Versatility in Surface Applications

Smets Technology specializes in a broad range of applications, each addressing critical challenges in surface maintenance:

01

Rubber Removal

Airport runways experience significant rubber buildup from aircraft landings, which can reduce surface friction and compromise safety. Smets Technology’s equipment efficiently removes rubber deposits without damaging the underlying pavement. By employing high-pressure water jetting systems, their solutions ensure that runways remain compliant with international safety standards while minimizing downtime.

Demarking

Efficient removal of road markings is essential for updating traffic patterns and maintaining road safety. Traditional methods can be time-consuming and often leave residues or damage the surface. Smets Technology offers advanced demarking solutions that strip markings cleanly, allowing for quick reapplication of new lines without compromising surface integrity.

03

Retexturing

Over time, road surfaces can lose their texture due to wear and tear, reducing friction and increasing the risk of accidents. Smets Technology’s retexturing equipment restores the microtexture and macrotexture of surfaces, improving skid resistance and enhancing road safety. This process is particularly valuable for high-traffic areas and steep gradients.

Asphalt Brightening

Asphalt surfaces can become dull and absorb more heat over time, leading to degradation. Smets Technology’s solutions for asphalt brightening rejuvenate surfaces, enhancing their appearance and reflectivity. This process not only extends the lifespan of the road but also improves visibility, especially during nighttime or adverse weather conditions.

Increasing Reflectivity of Markings

Visibility of road markings is crucial for guiding drivers safely. Smets Technology’s equipment enhances the reflectivity of road markings by cleaning and preparing the surface to ensure optimal adherence of reflective materials. This contributes to safer driving conditions, particularly on highways and during night-time operations.

06

Coloured Road Cleaning

Coloured roads, often used for bike lanes or pedestrian areas, require specialized cleaning to maintain their vibrancy and functionality. Smets Technology’s equipment is specifically designed to clean coloured surfaces without fading or damaging them, ensuring that they remain clearly visible and safe for use.
