When it comes to surface preparation, the cost isn’t just in what you remove—it’s in what you save.
Every extra day on-site, every unnecessary layer of screed, and every delay in tenant handover affects the bottom line. That’s why concrete surface milling with SGi Tech’s Parana Milling is a smarter, more cost-efficient choice.
Manual hacking may seem straightforward, but it’s often inconsistent, time-consuming, and prone to leaving an uneven surface. This typically leads to more screed work, longer project timelines, and potential impact on nearby finishes. All of which add cost and coordination headaches.
Previously, we were engaged by Mid Valley Megamall to mill and prepare 16,000m² of floor area where an incorrectly applied topping needed to be removed. By using SGi Tech’s Parana Milling technology, we completed the work in just 25 days. That speed allowed the mall to move forward with tenant fit-outs quickly. Our short turnaround helped them to save an estimated RM3.6 million in opportunity cost.
The even finish from milling also meant the client saved roughly RM800,000 in screed. No excessive patching. No overcorrection. Just a clean, consistent CSP surface ready for new coating and tiles.
Our milling systems can remove 5mm to 75mm per pass and average over 600m² a day. That’s far more productive than traditional methods. With minimal dust and vibration, we avoid disruptions, preserve the structural and finish integrity of the surrounding space.
With the increasing cost of Malaysia’s construction materials and services, avoiding unnecessary rework is more critical than ever. Every avoidable delay or redo now carries a heavier wallet to all the parties within a project. That is where precision solutions like SGi Tech and Parana Milling helps you to stay ahead.
