The concept of Grooving was introduced to Australia by Concut in 1978 with a trial on the main runway at Mascot. From this trial the Federal Airports Corporation specified that all commercial runways in Australia had to have a friction course of Grooving, leading Concut to design and construct a Grooving machine with a meter wide cutting head. This unit is still in use today.
