    Installation of new drainage channel and polyurethane screed.

    Our clients existing drainage channel and polyurethane screed, was showing signs of age and been damaged over the years. They decided it was time to remove the old and replace with new .

    First job was  to build a protective screen to close the area off so that their production was able to continue.

    We then removed the old screed back to the concrete sub-floor and removed the broken drainage channel.



    Once the old screed and channel had been removed we then installed a new channel and built up the sub-screed with fall towards the new channel.



    
     
    Finally we installed the new polyurethane screed and cove including new stainless steel trim to top of the cove.

    Epoxy coating to maintance workshop

    Our client asked us to install a solvent free high build epoxy coating to their maintenance area.
    The current floor was a polished concrete slab.
    To start we prepared the concrete slab by diamond grinding to achieve the required surface key and to remove any contaminants.
    A base cost of solvent free high build epoxy was then applied.
    After the base coat has cured a further two top coats of solvent free high build epoxy coating where applied.

    Preparation in progress.

     Removing old coatings using grinding machines or enclosed shot blasting









    Factory Unit Refurbishment








    Preparation and Installation of High Build Solvent Free Epoxy Coating


    In this unit we found an old painted floor , damaged floor joints and uneven areas  



    Enclosed Shot Blasting

    We decided to use a ride on enclosed shot blaster to remove all existing

    coating and provide us with a clean surface for the new floor paint.


     
     


    Using steel shot propelled at high force against the concrete

    this ride on shot blaster removed the old coating easily and quickly.


    The blasting action is contained within the front of the machine

    whilst the dust created is collected into the back of the vehicle.


    The difference between old and new can been seen clearly
     




    Some areas had to be prepared using our grinding machines to remove glue .
