A family owned, US business, Barton International has produced the world’s highest quality garnet abrasives since 1878. Our Mil-Spec & CARB approved blasting abrasives provide superior safety and maximum productivity for surface prep applications.

BARTON® garnet abrasives produce a clean surface with a uniform profile virtually free of particle embedment for better coating adhesion and longer coating life. Garnet is harder, heavier, and more durable than other blasting abrasives. It cuts faster and significantly increases productivity while reducing abrasive consumption, leading to significant savings in shipping, handling, and disposal.

BARTON garnet is a 100% natural, non-ferrous inert mineral with <0.1% respirable crystalline silica and no heavy metals. Our garnet produces less dust than many other blast abrasives, resulting in improved visibility, less disruption to adjoining work areas, and safer working conditions.

A trip hazard is when two concrete sidewalk slabs come together and one has risen or lowered creating unevenness someone could trip over. This is a common occurrence caused by different reasons including tree root growth, ground compaction issues, and weather.

The entire affected area is removed to bare ground, the surface is leveled and new concrete slabs are poured. This removal usually includes the two peaked slabs and the surrounding slabs.

Pros: 1. Eliminates the hazard, 2. Allow workers to fix problems under the concrete, 3. New concrete is poured

Cons: 1. Time Consuming. 2. Pricey, 3. Shuts down sidewalk until concrete cures

2. Use a Scarifier to level the slabs without removal. Just the trip hazard is removed using a Scarifier like the EDCO CPM8. The affected slabs are kept and are left with a textured, non-slip surface. The ground underneath is not serviced, but most times ground service is unnecessary.

Pros: 1. Eliminates hazard, 2. Quick, Long-lasting, 3. Cost-Effective, 4. Easy cleanup. Dust control is an option with Sacrifier

Cons: 1. Workers cannot fix problems under the concrete, 2. Leaves a surface someone may find unappealing

Batteries and charges are part of the Cordless Alliance System, allowing for combination with different machines and manufactures. Users will experience about 25 minutes of surface preparation time from an 8Ah/18v battery.

Spy® High Voltage Electronic Leak Detectors (HVELD)can identify and locate leaks within flat roofs.

Over time flat roofs can develop leaks for a variety of reasons throughout their lifespan. Workers can accidentally (and unknowingly) pierce a roof’s waterproof membrane or coatings even before construction is completed.

Extreme weather, debris, poor design, and poor construction can all conspire to create leaks. These leaks are often too small to spot with the naked eye yet, if left, can cause substantial damage to a building’s structure.

Detecting and repairing leaks in flat roofs at the earliest opportunity is an essential maintenance practice; SPY®’s High Voltage Electronic Leak Detector (HVELD) offers a simple and easy-to-use way of quickly locating leaks.

Today most flat roofs are constructed from electrically conductive materials such as steel or concrete and many have a foil-fac ed insulation layer directly below the surface membrane or coating. The SPY® HVELD uses the conductive properties of these materials to locate leaks by passing a high voltage current through defects to the earth ground.
