When it comes to grinding and polishing concrete floors, there are many variables that affect quality of the floor finish and how fast you can finish the job but it all starts with selecting the right tools for the specific project.
Robles Concrete started with Superabrasive’s HD Copper discs, which cut the concrete really fast without leaving deep scratches. The copper discs have to be used wet, and an auto scrubber was cleaning diligently after each pass.

Paving Non-Parking Lot Award Winner: Porous Pavement Poses Challenges for Finley Asphalt
Construction of a multi-use recreational court for the Congressional School of Virginia tested the talents of the Finley team.
“The paving of tennis courts, sports courts, and running tracks is what we call the plastic surgery of paving,” says Eric Finley, owner of Finley Asphalt. “The smoothness tolerance is typically ¼” when checked with a 10’ straight edge, and of course no standing water. The goal is to have the asphalt surface as flat as possible with just enough slope to drain the water off. Typically most parking lots are designed with 1.5% to 2% slope. Sports surfaces range from .83% to 1%.”
