Concrete cutting, drilling and grinding truly is the professional advantage in the concrete building and renovation industry. Our tools have many advantages and can also provide increased productivity over other renovation methods. With the expertise of our professional operators, the true advantages available including reduced downtime, precision concrete cutting, maintenance of structural integrity, reduced noise, dust and debris, limited-access concrete cutting, and the ability to cut heavily-reinforced concrete can be realised.

Contact us for advise and to see if we can help bring your project in on time and on budget.

 We provide the following services:

  • Core Drilling from 10mm to 3.2meter diameter with virtually unlimited depth

These machines are used for cutting both horizontal and vertical surfaces of block, brick, reinforced concrete and pre-cast.

Some applications include wall removal, door openings, window openings and cutting where a road saw is not accessible.

Flush cutting to the roof, floor and walls can be realised using our hydraulic flush cut machine.

We have machines that are electric, petrol and hydraulic powered to ensure we have a solution for cutting in any environment including confined spaces.

  • Road / Flat Sawing to a depth of 600mm

Road or Flat sawing is ideal for cutting horizontal flat surfaces such as concrete floors, bridge decks, pavements, and asphalt roads.

 

Our electric saws are powerful, flexible and manoeuvrable with a very wide range of applications. They are great for use in shopping centres, hospitals or anywhere fume free cutting is the preferred method.

  • Soff-Cut

     


 

Soff-cut or Early-entry sawing can begin as soon as 1 to 2 hours after concrete placement.  Early-entry saws are much lighter than conventional sawing equipment, which allows them to be used on concrete at a much earlier stage, often as soon as workers can walk on the concrete.

  • Track / Wall Sawing to a depth of 730mm from one side

 

This saw is remotely operated making it perfect for confined spaces and demolition work. Its powerful motor makes it perfect for deep cutting of heavily reinforced concrete walls. All cutting is fume free and being a modular system it can be used in hard access areas that other saws such as a road saw can not be used.

  • Wire Sawing

 

Diamond wire saws are more efficient than circular saws, able to cut concrete of almost any thickness. This makes them very useful for the kind of heavy demolition found in bridges, damns and thick concrete structures. In addition, they create little dust, noise and vibration, making them ideal for demolition work within inhabited structures.


  • Diamond Concrete Grinding & Polished Concrete 
  • Super Concrete Polished Floor System

    Super Polished Concrete is a system created by Klindex that changes a standard concrete floor into a beautiful, polished and easy to maintain surface, thanks to its patented grinding machinery and diamond tools.

    The surface of the future

    Klindex Super Polished Concrete is a fast and easy system for grinding and polishing concrete surfaces, without the use of coatings. Thanks to our technical and research development department it is now possible to change a standard concrete floor into a hygienic, traffic and wear resistant, beautiful surface that is easy to maintain. This system has been implemented by factories and firms all over the world for commercial, industrial and domestic buildings. Due to the high performance of Super Concrete, this system of polishing and grinding is becoming more desirable in comparison to the use of coatings such as wax, resins or paints.

    Characteristics of the super concrete system:

  • Achieve a surface finish similar to terrazzo or marble
  • Increased abrasion and impact resistance
  • Up to 8 times more resistant to wear via foot-traffic
  • Eliminates marking and damage to the surface via heavy machinery such as forklifts
  • Completely flat and smooth surface finish
  • Hygienic with no VOC emissions
  • Recreate a traditional looking floor with a modern process

Klindex promotes the use of Super Polished Concrete in a variety of applications that require a heavy traffic resistant, clean and aesthetically pleasing floor. This may include warehouses, shops, supermarket, restaurants, garages, houses, showrooms, liquor stores and more.

The Longest-Lasting Floor Solution Available

The Klindex Super Polished Concrete flooring system is perfectly suited to existing concrete floors that have been covered with traditional flooring systems such as carpet or timber, allowing the life and strength of the floor to be increased dramatically.

The Super Polished Concrete system process removes the top part of the surface of the old concrete floor (including any patchy, partial, or whole coatings), and hardens the exposed surface beneath, creating a transformation of porous concrete into a dense surface that is highly resistant to wear, scratching and chemicals.

Perfect for truck traffic:

  • Elimination of tyre marks from forklifts, vehicles and industrial hoppers. Generally, when a forklift wheel spins on a coated surface, a tyre mark is created and usually there to stay until the floor is repaired.
  • Decrease in overall fork truck tyre wear and tear (due to the smoothness of the floor and leveling of the uneven surface). In heavy industrial facilities, rough and uneven surfaces cause tyres to wear out rather quickly.

Ecologic/environmentally friendly

Polished concrete is a LEEDs friendly product that utilizes an existing concrete surface, eliminating the need for additional coverings and coating materials to be manufactured and purchased. Tile, carpet, and linoleum usually end up in landfills when they require replacement. Polished concrete is highly durable, and should a re-polish ever become necessary, it is completed on the existing slab at only a fraction of the cost without any significant waste.

  • No odor or migration of emissions from chemicals.
  • No solvent that evaporates into air.
  • No products that can cause allergies.
  • Clean air without any dust emitted from Super Concrete Floor.

Due to the surface remaining natural and uncoated, Super Concrete allows water vapour to evaporate through the surface as there are no barriers that harbor bacteria, mould or fungi. These coatings can also flake, peel, crack or separate at different stages in their lifetime.

Economic:

Easy to maintain, merely requires a sweep and scrub with a floor cleaning machine.

This decrease in floor maintenance means a reduction on cleaning equipment; making brushes, pads and mops require replacement less often. Most floor systems require aggressive scrubbing in order to maintain a clean environment and an attractive appearance.

There is also no need to wax or strip the floor and hence all of your allocated maintenance labour and material costs for stripping and waxing can now be eliminated.

Cost effective:

Polished Concrete is one of the most economical and cost effective flooring alternatives available. The reduced costs over the life of the floor are associated with saved energy, reduced material costs, maintenance reduction, and especially the long-lasting durability shows that polished concrete is a budget sensible, as well as beautiful, flooring system.

The Process

Existing Concrete Floors

  • Old coatings must be removed to bare concrete. And floors must be clean.
  • Damages should be repaired.
  • Initial Grinding with Metalbond Diamond.
  • Impregnation with Concrete Hardening agent.
  • Polishing with Resinbond diamond discs.
  • Sealing with Impregnating Sealer.

New Concrete Floors

  • By the addition of coloured aggregates, it is possible to achieve a very elegant appearance in different variations.
  • Also crushed coloured glass can be seeded into the top layer of fresh concrete where the grinding and polishing processes will reveal the glass pieces.
  • Select colours and aggregates of concrete.
  • Place concrete and allow curing for at least one week before any grinding.
  • Grinding with Metalbond Diamond.
  • Impregnation with Concrete Hardening agent.
  • Polishing with Resinbond diamond discs.
  • Sealing with Impregnating Sealer.

Comparison with Coatings

Polish or wax coatings are the traditional methods to achieve a high gloss surface finish to your floor. However, the higher the shine the more susceptible the finish is to scuffing and wear, giving the coating a relatively short period of time. Any further coatings are more vulnerable to scratching and general wear, leaving only the option of stripping the floor before application of new coats. This is a process which must be repeated over and over in the service life of a floor.

The same can be said for paint coatings based on acrylics, epoxies and urethanes, as these must be frequently repainted due to wear (in high traffic areas every 2-5 years). Initial application rates can make these options appear economical, yet in the long-term it is more expensive form of flooring than a full Super Polished Concrete Floor.
