Large-area concrete grinding & surface preparation
Diamond grinding that flattens worn industrial slabs, opens the concrete and creates a consistent, predictable profile across the entire floor area.
Signs this is your scope
- High and low spots that slow pallet jacks and AGVs
- Dusting, soft or laitance-covered slab surfaces
- Old coating residue and adhesive left after removal
- Surfaces that need a defined profile before a new finish
- Rough slabs that are difficult to clean
Concrete Grinding — execution
Progressive diamond tooling
Metal-bond diamonds cut the surface flat, then progressively finer tooling refines it toward the target finish.
HEPA dust extraction
Extraction is connected at the tool and the zone is contained, which is what allows grinding next to running operations.
Consistent surface profile
The whole area is brought to one profile so the finish behaves the same everywhere, not just in the patch that was ground.
Edge and corner work
Hand grinders and edge tooling reach walls, columns, dock areas and equipment bases the big machines cannot.
The full restoration sequence
Every JK project runs the same eight steps. This service is one part of it — and we will tell you which of the other steps your floor also needs.
Slab assessment and documentation
We walk the floor with the facility team, record slab condition, joint damage, coating type and moisture indicators, then map the area into workable zones.
- Existing coating identification
- Joint and crack mapping
- Slab hardness and profile check
- Zone and access plan
Coating and contaminant removal
Failed epoxy, paint, thinset, mastic and sealer are mechanically removed with HEPA dust extraction so the slab is clean and open before any repair work.
- Mechanical removal — no uncontrolled dust
- Epoxy, urethane, paint, adhesive residue
- Continuous vacuum containment
Joint, crack and spall repair
Forklift-damaged joint edges, spalls and cracks are cut, filled with semi-rigid material and ground flush so wheel traffic stops accelerating the damage.
- Joint edge rebuild
- Semi-rigid joint filler
- Spall and pop-out patching
- Crack routing and fill
Large-area diamond grinding
Planetary grinders with progressive diamond tooling flatten the surface, open the concrete and prepare a consistent profile across the whole area.
- Progressive metal-bond tooling
- Surface flattening
- Consistent profile for the chosen finish
Chemical hardening
A densifier is applied to harden the slab surface, cut down dusting and improve abrasion resistance under forklift and pallet traffic.
- Reduced dusting
- Higher surface abrasion resistance
- Better long-term cleanability
Polish, grind & seal or coat
Depending on the facility, the floor is resin-polished to the target gloss, grind-and-sealed for an economical industrial finish, or prepared for a coating system.
- Polished concrete
- Grind & seal
- Coating-ready surface profile
Guard and line work
Protective treatment is applied where required, and traffic markings or safety lines are re-established before the zone is handed back.
- Stain-resistant guard
- Traffic and safety line layout
- Zone handover checklist
Maintenance plan
We hand over a written maintenance routine so the facility team keeps the finish performing instead of re-entering the damage cycle.
- Cleaning method and chemistry
- Inspection interval
- Re-burnish / touch-up guidance

Questions we get on this scope
Is grinding the same as polishing?
No. Grinding is the preparation and flattening stage. Polishing is a finish achieved by continuing through progressively finer diamond steps with densifier. Many industrial floors only need grinding plus a seal.
Will grinding remove my old coating?
Grinding can remove residue, but a fully bonded or thick coating is handled as a dedicated coating removal scope first so the tooling is not wasted.
How flat can the floor get?
Grinding improves surface flatness within the limits of the existing slab. Deep deviations or structural settlement are a resurfacing or repair conversation, and we will say so during the assessment.
