We use only the most innovative and up-to-date technologies for the treatment of concrete floors and of other coatings. These technologies include:

shot-blasting, for economical surface conditioning
milling, which constitutes a very precise treatment method
grinding, applied primarily at the final stage of construction works
hacking off concrete floors, tiles and resin coatings
measurement of surface adhesiveness and humidity – pull off

Shot blasting of concrete

Shot-blasting of concrete is an economical method of surface conditioning. It is usually the initial stage of works which allows for convenient painting, tile laying and other finishing works.

Grinding of concrete

Grinding of concrete is a solution used to complement the shot blasting and milling processes. In a small amount of time it provides a smooth surface which may be subsequently prepared for the application of paint or resin.

Milling of concrete

Milling of concrete is a treatment method that yields very precise results. It allows for obtaining surfaces with enhanced resistance and effectively clear of persistent impurities or damaged elements.

Planetary milling

Planetary milling is a process which should be used after each treatment of concrete. It removes surface irregularities and makes it more level. Surfaces prepared this way require a much thinner levelling layer, which means lower consumption of materials used for finishing works.

Usage of cold milling machines

Cold milling machines work perfectly in case of thick layers which are difficult to remove. These machines operate at a significant depth and leave a smooth and clean surface with excellent adhesiveness. Their accuracy is also noteworthy.

Shot blasting of steel

It is a process of cleaning steel with a special type of steel shot.
We perform bridge shot blasting, we also clean tanks and ship hulls.
Advanced equipment and a long-term experience in this industry allow us to precisely remove rust, dirt, dried oil and old paint coatings.
The elements prepared in this way are perfect for repainting.

OUR REALIZATIONS

TERMINOLOGY

Shot blasting of concrete:
Shot blasting is a technological process which consists in a dry and dustless conditioning of concrete and other surfaces. It is also referred to as: blastracking, graining and bush hammering. Shot blasting is regarded as the most effective and economical method of concrete treatment.

Application of shot blasting:
Shot blasting of concrete is used for surface conditioning and for the preparation of surfaces for the application of paints, resins and laying of tiles. For example, blasting is used to remove old coatings, rubber from airport runways, road and parking lot markings and remaining elements of industrial flooring. Shot blasting also provides surface coarseness and restores roughness of smooth surfaces.

Advantages of blasting:
Shot blasting of concrete results in a clean, dust free surface which provides better adhesiveness for subsequent layers. Such treatment also significantly improves the appearance and durability of the surface.
Milling of concrete:
Milling is the mechanical treatment of surfaces consisting in machining the surface’s plane using specialist multiple-tooth cutting tools (milling cutters). It is necessary to bear in mind that there are many milling methods that utilize milling machines of various types and power ranges, with different working areas, and each of them is used for specific purposes and for specific types and compositions of base surfaces. Milling is one of the basic methods used for concrete treatment. It offers greater effectiveness, accuracy and smoothness of treated surfaces in comparison to other treatment techniques. It is especially recommended for treating very contaminated and old surfaces, especially when thick layers are removed. During the process of concrete milling we use industrial vacuum cleaners to minimise dust emission.

Application of milling:
This procedure is used for:
– giving desired structure to concrete surfaces
– levelling of surfaces
– roughening of surfaces
– cleaning of road surfaces
– removing difficult contaminants, such as: adhesives, paints, greases, fillers, resins, road markings
– removing loose and damaged surface elements
– preparing old floors before pouring new layers of topping
– execution of furrows, e.g. for drainage, rails, ducts, underfloor heating etc.
– deep milling of asphalt
– preparing concrete for insulation
– profiling smooth base surfaces
– restoring worn road surfaces
– smoothing surfaces and improving their appearance

Advantages of milling:
As a result of milling we achieve a clean and stable base surface which has a suitable structure and smoothness as well as a high degree of adhesion for subsequent layers. This way the thickness of subsequent layer is reduced which ensures high savings in context of required materials and workload. Such treatment significantly improves the appearance and durability of the base surface as well.
Planetary milling:
Planetary milling is performed on an initially treated surface and its goal is to remove the irregularities of a concrete surface. It is particularly useful, when after removing old coatings using cold milling machines the surface is covered with grooves and parallel cavings.

Application of planetary milling
Surface smoothing is the most common use of planetary milling. This technology allows for achieving very high level of surface uniformity. This way we can ensure a similar level of roughness of the entire surface without any grooves.

These devices also allow for the removal of old coatings or road markings, cleaning of surfaces and, what is most important, for the preparation of surfaces for additional works.

Advantages of planetary milling:
The most obvious advantage of this method is the achievement of a very uniform surface. This allows for the reduction of material consumption, for example while using a spackling compound before laying tiles. It also reduces the duration of finishing works.
Usage of cold milling machines:
Surface cutting at a depth of up to 5 centimetres, operation in dry mode, with no dust emission — usage of cold milling machines is the best solution where precision and accuracy is of utmost importance. Due to their high efficiency these machines work at high speeds, which greatly reduces the time needed for concrete treatment in comparison to traditional methods.

When to use cold milling machines?

This highly efficient device enables the:
– removal of thick, difficult to remove layers,
– preparation of ducts for installations, wires,
– preparation of grooves for tracks,
– levelling of surface on a large area.

Advantages:
Level surfaces may be obtained using cold milling machines. Their dry operation mode makes it possible to start laying floors and perform finishing works immediately after treatment. At the same time the clean and smooth layer exhibits high level of adhesiveness which allows for achieving considerable savings when applying coating materials. The renewed surface, devoid of features and grooves, is much more resistant than before treatment.
Grinding of concrete:
Grinding is an abrasive method of surface treatment utilizing specialist tools.
It is typically used at the finishing stage of works as a complement to shot blasting or milling.

We provide grinding services with the use of diamond discs which do not cause vibration. This technology can be used in closed rooms and tight spaces: at edges and in corners. The type of diamond tools is always selected individually, depending on base surface type and the degree of its hardness.

Application of grinding:
Grinding is used for:
– cleaning and levelling of surfaces
– removing old layers of paint, varnish, adhesive, fillers, resins
– preparing surfaces for painting
– repairing and levelling of base surfaces
– improving the appearance of architectural concrete
– smoothing of surfaces after hammering, milling, shot blasting
– the final stage of concrete treatment

Advantages of grinding:
Through grinding we can obtain a restored, ideally clean, glossy and smooth surface that is ready for polishing or applying a new coat of paint or resin.

The application of Blastrac single head grinders and the connection to a proper industrial vacuum cleaner equipped with HEPA filters allows for the reduction of the amount of harmful dust while grinding to a minimum, which is a key issue for workplace safety and for retaining its ecological nature.

Grinding of concrete is the fastest and most effective method for levelling and smoothing concrete floors and for restoring their original appearance.
