Project Reference

For warehouse operations, the floor is the most critical piece of equipment. In Mandaue City, High Speed Construction recognized that a standard concrete slab would eventually succumb to the heavy "wear and tear" of forklift traffic, pallet dragging, and chemical spills. To prevent future dusting and surface degradation, they implemented a proactive "dry-shake" strategy during the initial concrete pour.

By applying the treatment while the concrete was still "green" (freshly placed), they were able to create a monolithic floor where the hardener became an integral part of the slab, rather than just a top coating.

The Strategic Advantages of Buildrite Hardcrete NM:
• Immediate Time Efficiency: Unlike epoxy coatings that require weeks of curing before application, Buildrite Hardcrete NM is broadcasted onto the wet concrete just 10 to 15 minutes after placement. The floor is walkable within 24 hours, and light operations can commence in as little as 3 to 7 days, significantly accelerating the construction timeline.
• Structural Durability (Non-Metallic Shield): Hardcrete NM is a pre-mixed, non-metallic floor hardener containing high-grade mineral aggregates and specialized cement. It creates a "tough durable cap" that resists heavy abrasion and high-impact traffic common in logistics hubs.
• Chemical and Porosity Control: By densifying the surface, the product reduces the concrete's natural porosity. This prevents the absorption of oils, grease, and industrial chemicals, making the floor easier to clean and protecting the slab from deep-seated stains and damage.
• Economic Value: For large-scale warehouse projects, Hardcrete NM offers the lowest initial material and labor costs compared to alternative flooring systems, providing a "premium" industrial finish at a fraction of the price of secondary coatings.

Technical Performance: As a non-metallic hardener, Buildrite Hardcrete NM will not rust or discolor when exposed to moisture, making it ideal for the humid coastal environment of Mandaue City. The power-troweling process ensures that the mineral aggregates are deeply embedded, resulting in a smooth, high-density finish that eliminates "concrete dusting."

By choosing to densify the slab at the point of construction, High Speed Construction provided their client with a long-term, low-maintenance asset that is ready for the rigors of modern warehousing.
