PRECISION SAFE SIDEWALKS, INC. AND ITS AFFILIATES
USE PRECISION CONCRETE CUTTING NOT CONCRETE GRINDING
CHARLOTTE, NC (March 2010) - Precision Safe Sidewalks, Inc.
and its affiliates are frequently asked, "are you going to grind it
[trip hazard] down?" Our patented method is not concrete
grinding at all. We use a patented method of making a
horizontal cut instead of concrete grinding to remove trip hazards.
We used to be a grinding company and know all the issues and problems
created by
concrete grinding. Concrete grinding is not quick.
Usually, it takes about one hour for a two to three man crew to remove a
trip hazard
Precision Safe Sidewalks trip hazard removal process can help reduce
your liability for trip and fall claims. Our sidewalk restoration service is quick. The average
trip hazard repair specialist can remove up to 50 trip hazards per day. A
three man crew can easily remove up to 1,500 hazards in ten days.
Concrete grinding is not ADA compliant. There is
no way to guarantee that concreted grinding will
provide an adequate slope or completely remove the trip hazard from
edge-to-edge.
Precision Safe Sidewalks trip hazard removal process is compliant.
Every hazard repair is made to
ADA
and customer specifications. Furthermore, the trip hazard removal
and cut meets or exceeds
OSHA standards for slip resistance with a coefficient of friction
equal to or greater than 0.50. Trip hazard removal cuts on
sidewalks and around handicap accessible areas are precisely made to
have a slope of 1:8 and 1:12 respectively. If you have different
specifications, we perform the hazard removal at those
specifications.
Concrete grinding is more cost effective
than removing and replacing sidewalk panels, but it causes so much
damage to adjacent panels that they oftentimes have to
be replaced prematurely as a direct result of concrete grinding.
Using concrete grinding pulverizes the concreted
panels leaving them weak and accelerating the need to
replace them.
Trip hazard removal is an expensive process for anyone owning
sidewalk assets. Precision Safe Sidewalks' precision concrete
cutting process allows for sidewalk repairs at a fraction of the cost of
traditional removal and replacement or the resources utilized for
concreted grinding operations.

slip-resistant, edge-to-edge treatment, dust abatement system, OSHA
