Picks play a crucial role in roadway excavation and rock crushing during construction projects. Diamond inserts enhance these processes, making challenging tasks more manageable and efficient. Traditionally, road construction has used picks tipped with cemented tungsten carbide to remove or reshape surface materials. However, diamond picks offer significant advantages, delivering up to 40 times the lifespan of conventional carbide picks. This improvement boosts productivity, lowers fuel consumption, and reduces wear and tear on heavy equipment.

At SLB, our industry-leading innovations and services offer the perfect solution for road construction. We provide a variety of MegaDiamond PCD-tipped picks specifically designed for diverse road construction tasks, such as asphalt milling, reclaiming, resurfacing, stripe channel cutting, and rumble strip milling.
