What does "System Thinking" mean in the context of architectural concrete?
Combining products from several manufactures leads to inconsistent performance or
even treatments that are combative or work against the effects of one another. A
system of equipment and treatments unique to the industry allows designers to Spec
for success with complementary treatments and equipment.
Trained and certified craftsmen using the head pressure needed to consolidate and
utilize alternative fuel-powered equipment to operate safely in a wet environment.
Why wet? Profiling wet maintains Indoor Air Quality (IAQ standards) mandated by
regulatory agencies (such as OSHA) during the profiling process, keeping laborers
safe and the building occupants later during construction. A cutting agent is applied
before and while the floor is being profiled to facilitate wet surface processing and
reduce labor—each cog in the system is designed and implemented to success.
