The Challenge
A 30-year-old factory in Balakong, consisting of six rental units, required floor rectification before it could be leased to new tenants. Years of heavy industrial use had taken a toll, with the concrete surface suffering from oil spills, chemical exposure, forklift friction, and acid damage. The building owner initially considered using excavators for hacking, but this method posed many risks and unnecessary damage.
Our Approach & Result
Sonicon used SGi Tech’s Parana Milling as a more effective alternative to traditional hacking; the precise floor rectification, removing weak concrete while maintaining structural integrity. The process ensured a uniform CSP 10 profile across 8,000m² with minimal dust, noise, and disruption, delivering a tenant-ready factory floor optimized for future consistent coatings and long-term durability.
Restoring an aging industrial space is no simple task, especially when the factory floor has endured decades of heavy machinery use, chemical spills, and surface wear. In Balakong, a 30-year-old factory faced a critical challenge—before it could be leased to tenants, its flooring needed urgent rectification.
Initially, excavator hacking was considered by the building owner, but this method risked causing unnecessary structural damage and inconsistent profile. Instead, SGi Tech’s Parana Milling was introduced by Sonicon as a faster, safer, and more effective solution. This non-destructive method removed weak concrete layers, restored the structural integrity of the floor, and ensured a consistent, tenant-ready surface.
In just a short timeframe, 8,000m² of flooring was rectified and prepared to for optimal coating adhesion, reducing material failure risks. This job was completed with the floor ready for new layer of concrete and long-term use. With enhanced durability and longevity, the factory is now fully optimized for its next phase.
A better approach leads to better results—and at Sonicon, we make sure every project is done right.
