CSDA Specification CSDA-PC-113 – Polishing Concrete covers the proper codes and standards to be applied on polishing projects, as well as prerequisites for the work, polishing set-up procedures, and equipment operation. CSDA Best Practice CSDA-BP-005 – Diamond Cutting Tools for ADA provides a quick overview of the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) establishing a standard level of accessibility for individuals with disabilities. It outlines the types of concrete cutting tools that could be used to perform tasks necessary for ADA compliance.
It pays for architects, engineers and cutting contractors to be working with the same up-to-date industry standards in today’s competitive construction market, notes CSDA Executive Director Patrick O’Brien. More than ever before, a contractor’s success depends on access to the most current methods and technology to get a job done and to do it right.
