Concrete grinding
Warehouse Concrete Grinding — Dust-Free Surface Prep
A 60,000-square-foot active distribution warehouse needed a polished-concrete floor refresh without disrupting forklift traffic. HireAVac paired a Dirt Eater Big Boss HEPA unit with the contractor's 30" planetary grinder for OSHA 1910.1053 Table 1 silica compliance through a 10-hour shift.
Houston, TX
Healthcare renovation
Hospital Wing Renovation — ICRA-Compliant Dust Control

Abatement
School Asbestos Abatement Support
A Houston-area independent school district contractor needed a dedicated HEPA vacuum for asbestos pipe-insulation removal in a 1962 elementary boiler room. Project had to pass final clearance air monitoring on the first attempt — summer school started in 9 days.

Stone Fabrication Shop — Silica Dust Capture
A Houston engineered-stone fabricator's quarterly silica air monitoring came back above the OSHA Action Level at the dry-cut station.

Restoration
Condo Water-Damage Restoration
A Greater Houston high-rise condo unit owner stayed in the building during a Cat 2 water-loss restoration. HireAVac supplied a HEPA vacuum used between drying cycles and after demolition, keeping airborne particulate undetectable to the occupant.

Demolition
Interior Office Demolition
