What is the HiPERFLOOR System?
HiPERFLOOR by Husqvarna is a complete concrete surface polishing system, which enhances the beauty, strength and abrasion resistance of concrete floors while reducing maintenance and costs.
This system can radically transform new or old concrete flooring. By mechanically refining the already hard concrete surface through grinding, polishing and chemical treatments, we can bring virtually any surface to a new level of appearance, functionality, and strength. With different specified processes, a flooring solution can be tailored to fit any requirement - aesthetics, floor flatness, gloss and price.
Selecting the HiPERFLOOR concrete polishing system significantly increases durability and reduces life cycle maintenance costs. The absence of a surface coating reduces costs traditionally associated with flooring installations. The result is a smoother surface with reduced cleaning costs.

When asked about the demanding nature of the job, Lee Tucker, Project Manager for Marous Brothers stated, “All parties and suppliers were very accommodating given our unique conditions and worked diligently to provide appropriate products and processes for our unique challenges”.
Dust Control Solutions for Construction
Rule for Construction
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has issued a final rule to curb lung cancer, silicosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and kidney disease in America's workers by limiting their exposure to respirable crystalline silica. The rule is comprised of two standards, one for Construction and one for General Industry and Maritime.What does the standard require?
The standard requires employers to limit worker exposures to respirable crystalline silica and to take other steps to protect workers. Employers must protect workers from respirable crystalline silica exposures above the permissible exposure limit averaged over an eight-hour day. When are employers required to comply with the standard? Construction employers must comply with all requirements of the standard by June 23, 2017.For additional information, please visit OSHA's website.
Phipps offers a range of dust and air control construction equipment that meets OSHA's new standard. Please see below.
BASF MasterTop 210COR Adds Durability to New Concrete Floors
Project: Superior Dairy Canton, Ohio
Contractor: Beaver Constructors
Project Manager: Ben Pachan
Concrete Construction Materials: BASF MasterTop, Euco QWIKjoint 200
Concrete Rental Equipment: Bartell TS78 6' Riding TrowelIn 2016, Beaver Constructors installed new concrete floors at the Superior Dairy facility, in Canton, Ohio. Because Superior Dairy’s Milk Room is a storage and shipping area it needed a more durable floor than standard 4,000 psi concrete. The solution was to add BASF’s MasterTop 210COR, a metallic-aggregate surface hardener that will not rust, even in consistently wet conditions. MasterTop 210COR is ideal for industrial floors that require added abrasion and impact resistance where moisture or humidity may be a factor. The impact resistance of MasterTop 210COR is twice that of concrete to hold up to heavy loading and shipping environments and the abrasion resistance is 3-4 times greater than mineral aggregates to withstand high traffic areas. The joint filler Euco Qwikjoint 200 was used to support and protect joint edges from heavy loads and wheel traffic, which reduces spalling of the joint edges. The joint filler also keeps the floors cleaner by preventing dirt and debris from settling into the joints.
On this same project, Beaver Constructors rented the Bartell TS78 6’ riding trowel to be used to pour concrete on an elevated interior deck. The Bartell TS78 6’ riding trowel was ideal because of the machine’s light weight. The Bartell TS78 weighs only 620 pounds, making it ideal for elevated deck pours.

Phipps Winter Heating Solutions
Construction always presents challenges to owners, the design community, and contractors. Phipps is committed to offer innovative solutions to those challenges. Keeping projects on schedule and budget is especially difficult during the winter because excess moisture accompanies warm air that is blown into a building.
For many years direct and indirect fired heat have been the primary solutions for allowing work in cold temperatures.
Direct fired heaters add considerable moisture and carbon monoxide. Indirect units require extensive ductwork outside the building and an array of fans inside the building to move the warm air within the site. Indirect units also have high fuel costs because they must heat outside ambient air to the required temperature.
Phipps now rents in all of its locations highly safe and efficient hydronic heating systems that provide consistent, dry heat to keep your project dryer, on budget, and on track. With a hydronic system, an external burner flash heats and pumps at low pressure food good grade glycol to thermostatically controlled and quiet heat exchangers placed strategically in the building. Operating much like a residential furnace, the hydronic system maintains the air temperature within the structure while only re-heating the glycol temperature differential. Consequently the hydronic system burner only operates a fraction of the time saving precious fueling dollars. Please contact us if you would like more information on how Phipps can help your winter projects be completed successfully.
Direct Fired
- Pros:
- Relatively portable
- Readily available
- Low cost
- Proven, been used for years
- The most common method in the industry
- Cons:
- Carbon monoxide emissions in work area
- Carbonization potential for slabs
- Must run 100% of the time to generate heat
- Proven, been used for years
- Puts excess moisture into structure
Indirect Fired
- Pros:
- Less fumes in work area
- Dryer air than direct fire units
- Less Equipment needed in work space
- Cons:
- Must operate 100% of the time to generate heat
- More difficult set up and ducting required
- Air only enters in one location so fans must be used to distribute heat
- Air is warm from ambient temperature
Hydronic Heat
- Pros:
- Production schedule control
- Fume free work areas
- Even/dry air – 5-7% relative humidity
- Tremendous fuel savings
- Quiet operation
- Low power consumption
- Flexible set up, operation and fueling options
- Unit typically only operates a tenth of the time of traditional methods
- Cons:
- Higher initial rental cost that leads to overall savings generated by less fuel consumption
- Hoses require some management to keep an organized jobsite
- Pros:
