The Challenge
The existing slab at a government-related vehicle workshop had developed uneven levels and surface inconsistencies, which posed challenges for the heavy-duty activity expected in the space. The client needed a solution to correct the slab within a tight timeline and minimal disruption to surrounding works. The finished surface should also be aggregated for immediate new concrete topping application.
Our Approach & Result
Utilizing SGi Tech’s Parana Milling machine, we carried out precision slab correction at a 5mm depth, covering 800m² in under 5 days. We cleanly removed high spots while maintaining full control of the depth and surface texture for better adhesion with the new concrete topping. By milling instead of hacking, we preserved the existing screed layer, avoided cracking, and kept dust levels low.
When a vehicle maintenance workshop floor is uneven, it would distract the operations and even raise concerns on the structural integrity. But before applying the new concrete topping, the floor has to be levelled to ensure the longevity and smooth operations.
Our team was brought in to carry out the slab correction using SGi Tech’s Parana Milling, a precision milling method that allows for clean, controlled removal of surface material without vibration or excessive dust.
We milled the surface at 5mm depth across 800m², completing the job in less than 5 days. This ensured the surface was evenly profiled and ready for immediate topping application, without affecting adjacent areas.
The rectified slab now offers a stable base for the new floor layer. The project was completed on time, with minimal disruption, and without unnecessary damage to the structure.
