'The worst slab I ever had to fix'

A Louisiana concrete contractor uses heavy-duty grinders and a lithium silicate desnifier/hardener from Prosoco to repair a wavy shipping terminal floor.


At the end of the 30- to 60-minute cure time, little if any soft calcium hydroxide was left to carbonate into dust. Few if any pores remained to create dust from abrasion.

It took the three-man crew six hours to fully treat the 70,000 square feet. Within an hour, the last portions of the floor were ready to take on traffic, spills, scrapes and the endless impacts industrial floors are heir to.

"I chose LS for the same reason I brought my biggest machines," Jim said. "I wanted the best results and I wanted them fast."

Ten days after arrival, Jim presented his client with the hard, flat, dust-proof floor Kinder-Morgan shipping operations need. In return, they gave Jim what he considers to be the ultimate compliment.

"They lined us up for another job," he said.
