Industrial Flooring Project Scope.
A concrete floor which had been coated in the past and was in need of a re-coat and repair work.
The refurbishment was completed in two phases to minimize disruption to operations in the Hangar.
A 1 metre strip with a coarse slip resistant texture was installed behind the hangar doors as a safety feature.
Oriens had acquired a new contract. They had to meet the criteria of their new client within a narrow time frame and be ready for their opening day.
The existing coating had worn and had an untidy appearance. Open joints and other defects were inhibiting the tracking of trolleys and other plant across the hangar floor.
Oriens approached Elgood Industrial Flooring hoping that we might have a practical and cost-effective solution that would meet their various concerns.
We installed a trial patch free of charge for Oriens to assess. The trial proved to us that the existing coating was well adhered and that with thorough preparation we would be able to over coat with confidence. This also had the added advantages of reducing the amount of waste generated and controlling the cost of the new floor.
The new coating had to be resistant to Skydrol and be able to withstand aircraft. The Britdura 750 High-build was able to meet both of these conditions.
Preparation for Industrial Flooring
The floor was prepared using Diamond Floor Grinders. To control and capture the dust generated by the process, these machines are vacuum contained.
Industrial Flooring system.
Oriens chose our Light Grey with a fine slip resistant finish.
We retain a small in-house team of full-time employees tom install our floors.
