Why Dust-Free
Concrete grinding produces fine silica dust. Without proper extraction, that dust gets into everything — air systems, equipment, stock, occupied spaces. It’s a health hazard, a compliance issue, and a cleanup nightmare.
ICGC runs full dust extraction on every job. Our grinders are connected to industrial HEPA-filtered vacuum systems that capture dust at the source. The result: clean air, clean floors, and a site that stays operational while we work.
This isn’t an optional extra. It’s how we do every job.
The System
How Dust-Free Grinding Works
At the Grinder
Every grinding machine is fitted with a dust shroud that seals against the floor surface. As the diamonds cut the concrete, the shroud contains the dust and feeds it directly into the extraction system. Dust never reaches the open air.
Industrial Vacuum Extraction
Connected to each grinder is an industrial vacuum unit with multi-stage filtration. These aren’t shop vacs — they’re purpose-built dust extractors rated for continuous operation on concrete dust.
HEPA Filtration
The final filtration stage uses HEPA filters that capture 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns. Silica dust particles are typically 1–100 microns, so virtually nothing gets through.
Air Monitoring
On sensitive sites — hospitals, schools, food processing, occupied offices — we can provide air quality monitoring to verify dust levels remain within safe limits throughout the job.
Applications
Built for Sensitive Environments
Occupied Commercial Buildings
Offices, retail spaces, and hospitality venues where people are working or shopping while we grind. No dust means no disruption to your business.
Healthcare & Aged Care
Hospitals, medical centres, and aged care facilities with strict air quality requirements. Our extraction system keeps dust levels well within acceptable limits.
Food & Beverage Facilities
Processing plants, commercial kitchens, and food storage areas where contamination is not an option.
Residential (Occupied Homes)
Homeowners living in the property during renovation. Our dust-free process means you don’t need to move out while we work on your floors.
Residential services →How It Works
Our Process
Site Assessment
We assess the space, identify sensitivities (occupied areas, air systems, equipment), and plan the extraction setup accordingly.
Containment & Setup
Dust extraction equipment is positioned and connected. If required, we install temporary barriers to isolate the work area from occupied spaces.
Grind with Extraction
All grinding is done with dust extraction running continuously. The operator monitors extraction performance throughout.
Clean & Verify
After grinding, we vacuum all surfaces and verify the area is clean. On sensitive sites, we can provide air quality documentation.
Handover
Site handed over clean and ready — for coatings, for the next trade, or for immediate reoccupation.
