ACC Flooring was asked by a new client to install a high-build epoxy coating to its new automotive workshop in Coventry. The 1,215sq m floor area was shotblast and diamond edge ground to remove laitance from the concrete substrate.
The expansion joints were all diamond sawcut and the failed compound raked out prior to the installation of ACC Maintain, reportedly a low-odour polyurethane concrete which is said to provide excellent durability and impact resistance. Small substrate repairs were also carried out and again ACC Maintain was used to facilitate these repairs.
Says the company: ‘Two coats ACC HB SF high-build epoxy coating in Light Grey was installed to the main floor area. Two coats of ACC HB SF was applied to the designated bays and once cured demarcation using Altro Resin’s Altro Line high visibility, high gloss, high-build epoxy line marking system in RAL 2003 Orange was installed to mark out each bay.
‘Two coats of Altro Line in RAL 2003 Orange were applied to the EV Bay with ACC HB SF in Dark Grey used to create the demarcation lines around the bay.
‘ACC HB SF is suitable for workshop, warehouse, storage, and general industry locations and with the correct maintenance programme will have a life expectancy of a minimum seven years. Altro Line is the perfect solution for identifying isolated areas and spaces and defining pedestrian walkways and zebra crossings.’
The project was reportedly completed on time despite a tight working window to the delight of the client.
