What We Do

Concrete surface preparation that helps property managers achieve coating-ready substrates

Staged diamond grinding, contaminant cleaning, degrease, and targeted crack repair with documented ICRI-style profiling and readiness checks

  • Concrete Crack Repair

    Inspection and targeted filler work to stabilise fissures and prepare the substrate for coatings.

  • Surface Cleaning & Profiling

    Debris removal, degrease, and diamond grinding to open pores and create a consistent profile.

Why Marietta Epoxy Flooring

ICRI-style profiling with itemized prep specifications

When surface prep is incomplete, primers and topcoats fail — missing profile, moisture, or unrepaired cracks lead to delamination and rework.

Common Challenges

  • Inadequate profile leads to coating failure

    If pores remain closed or surface grit persists, primers cannot bond. That causes blisters, delamination, and costly rework under traffic conditions.

  • Moisture from clay soils causes adhesion issues

    Clay-heavy subsoils and local humidity raise slab moisture risk. Without mitigation, coatings lift or bubble during warm cures and freeze-thaw cycles.

  • Unrepaired cracks cause delamination under traffic

    Hairline and structural cracks transmit movement into the coating. Left unaddressed, cracks propagate and coatings fail in maintenance bays and hangars.

How We Help

  • Measured ICRI CSP 2–4 profile verification

    Diamond grinding and profile checks produce a documented CSP 2–4 surface ready for primer and coating applications.

  • Crack repair stabilises substrate

    Targeted fillers and sealants restore load paths and prevent crack transmission into overlays and topcoats.

  • Moisture risk mitigation plans

    Moisture readings, primer selection, and cure timing are adjusted for high humidity and clay soils at the base.

  • Reduced downtime with scheduled windows

    Work scheduled to fit facility maintenance windows minimises operational disruption for hangars and equipment bays.

  • Documented readiness handover

    Itemized reports list profile level, prep steps, and next-step readiness for coating installers and facility records.

Who We Help

Facility managers, maintenance teams, and property staff at Dobbins Air Reserve Base

  • Hangar managers scheduling floor upgrades

    Managers planning hangar flooring need fast, measurable prep that handles fuel and vehicle traffic while fitting maintenance windows.

  • Industrial maintenance supervisors at Dobbins

    Supervisors of maintenance bays and equipment storage require degreasing, grinding, and crack repair to ensure coatings last under heavy use.

  • Property managers overseeing administrative buildings

    Managers of admin and support buildings seek dust-free, consistent substrates that accept topcoats with minimal disruption to daily operations.

How We Work

How Concrete Surface Preparation Works

Three steps from assessment to a documented, coating-ready surface scheduled to your maintenance window.

  1. Site assessment

    We inspect slab condition, read moisture, and record existing contamination so the prep specification matches the coating and facility constraints.

  2. Surface preparation

    Staged diamond grinding, degrease, and crack repair open pores and stabilise defects to meet the documented profile target.

  3. Final inspection

    We verify profile level, moisture readings, and reparations, then deliver an itemized readiness report for the coating installer.

About This Service

About this Service

Concrete surface preparation at Dobbins Air Reserve Base focuses on hangars, maintenance bays and storage areas where heavy loads and strict access windows shape the work. The service provides staged diamond grinding to achieve a specified ICRI profile, heavy contaminant removal, structural crack repair methods suitable for equipment loads, and profile verification. It is aimed at base facility managers needing coating-ready substrates that meet operational schedules.

Clay-heavy soils and regional moisture trends make vapour risk a common concern for the base. Practical expectations include moisture screening and specifying primers or vapour-control systems when test results indicate elevated slab moisture. Work is typically phased to align with maintenance windows and to limit impact on operations; dust control and containment protocols are documented in proposals.

Proposals provide the target CSP, repair specifications tied to load conditions, and a cleanliness acceptance checklist. The handover note indicates whether the slab meets profile and dryness criteria or requires further remediation before coating application.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions on standards, moisture, and scheduling for base facilities

Short answers on profile standards, risks of delay, and how we work within maintenance windows at Dobbins.

Delaying prep increases risk of adhesion failure. Moisture and contaminants worsen, raising rework costs and downtime. Early prep avoids larger replacement or emergency repairs.
Small cracks transmit movement into coatings. Left unrepaired they widen under load and cause topcoat delamination, often requiring full resurfacing instead of simple repairs.
We document profile using ICRI methods and aim for a measured CSP appropriate to the coating system, typically within the specified CSP range for the chosen topcoat.
High humidity slows epoxy cure and raises moisture risk. We use moisture testing, primer selection, and adjusted cure windows to reduce failure risk in humid conditions.
Yes. We coordinate installs to fit maintenance windows, limiting operational disruption and ensuring access, safety checks, and final inspections occur on schedule.
