Helping stop slip-ups
December 1st 2007 Continuous movements of
forklift trucks at the storage
warehouse of Polymer
Logistics in Grangemouth
had resulted in severe wear
to the floor surface and
smooth areas susceptible to
slip issues.
Flooring contractor K
Systems was called in to
propose a solution to the
problems and to provide a
durable, coloured surface
over the 1000m2 concrete
floor. It also had to cope
with heavy duty wear and
provide slip resistance.
The company proposed
Sika's Sikafloor 261 epoxy
coating system. K Systems
carried out a complete
refurbishment of the floor
surface, mechanically
preparing the old concrete
floor using captive shot
blasting. Sikafloor 261 was
applied with encapsulated
aggregate within the system
to provide a slip resistant,
textured coating.
Installation was carried
out over just four days
minimising disruption to
the warehouse. More articles from Sika Limited: |
