Project scenario
A Houston concrete grinding contractor takes on a 12,000 sq ft warehouse slab. Work runs on night shift to avoid tenant disruption.
Dust challenge
Continuous silica-bearing fines from planetary grinding across 8-hour shifts, with adjacent occupied units sensitive to dust transfer.
Site constraint
Night-shift schedule, no daytime cleanup window, tenant complaints would shut the job down.
Why a HEPA vacuum was selected
Standard shop vacs blind on cementitious fines within an hour. The crew needs continuous capture and a unit that supports OSHA Table 1 silica workflow.
Suggested vacuum setup
Dirt Eater wet/dry HEPA vacuum, two operators, spare H14 filters and bags pre-staged, water suppression on the grinder.
Practical workflow
Vacuum runs continuously alongside grinding. Filter inspection at meal break. Bag-change inside contained area at end of shift. Adjacent tenant corridor wiped before sunrise.
