Client Problem
The owner of this commercial/warehouse was looking for an effective way to fix the concrete floor of this nearly 40,000 sq. ft. space It had become pitted, cracked and rough over the years (30 plus). The current state of the floor made it difficult to run forklifts and pallet jacks smoothly over the floor.
Our Solution
Concrete Resources completed a through inspection of the floor and created a custom plan to completely rehab the concrete both functionally and aesthetically. An aggressive grind was completed to remove contaminants and loose concrete. Some sections of the slab required a specialized cementitious overlay to fill in pop outs, low spots and uneven surfaces. Joints and cracks were filled with 2-part polyurethane traffic grade sealant flush to the surface prior to polishing .
The surface was honed with multiple passes of our 1500 lb grinders using specialized diamond tooling. and densified with lithium densifier to harden and dust proof the slab. Polishing of the concrete proceeded with multiple passes using progressively higher grit diamonds to produce a highly reflective surface.
After thorough cleaning, a deep penetrating sealer was applied to provide stain resistance for many years to come.
