Default Grooving concrete

Does anyone have experience of putting anti-slip grooves into worn
concrete? The problem is in a livery stables with aisles about six feet
wide between the boxes. I'm told they had grooves ground in a few
decades ago. I can find machines on the web that would be suitable for
extended areas like a cattle yard but these would only be able to do
longitudinal grooves here, and you need transverse ones. It seems to me
that diamond disks used in either a normal or a large angle grinder
would be too narrow.

I doubt if "industrial" epoxy paint would stand up to shod horses.

The problem has come to light after removal of rubber matting which had
become badly split and torn. Replacement matting is obviously another
option, but I'm not sure the owner would stump up.


Never done it, look forward to see who ever has ;-)

Diamond disc wall chaser set on "shallow"?

You mean the two disk type? Will the inset bit come out readily? Perhaps
if you can set the disks up so that the "gap" bit is (say) around 5 mm
it will come out easily with a manual or SDS chisel. It's another good
thought.
