Grinding is used to remove thinner coating, surface grime and sealers. This will help open the pores on the concrete to have a better bond with sealers and coatings. Diamond grinding uses special grinding plates to either take off certain coatings or leave a surface with a particular profile in preparation for a coating.

Diamond grinding uses:

Roughen surface to prevent slipping (Husky Stadium job)
Prepare concrete for a waterproof coating especially on vertical surface that we are unable to hit with our shotblaster which only hits horizontal surfaces
Smooths out shotblasting tracks if the customer does not want to see the tracks left behind by a typical shot blasting process
Prevent small vehicles from hydroplaning
