Case Study #14

Iron Mountain Case Study

What they needed

Iron Mountain are a national recycling company which won the contract to manage waste from the 2012 Olympic Games in London, and needed to make sure that they could handle it. They thought their current floor would be insufficient to complete the work. However, after an inspection the floor had partially collapsed already and needed to be completely rebuilt, as the recycling work would require 20 tonne diggers to be able to pass over the area safely.

What we did

First on our list of priorities was to rebuild the collapsed floor area, this had to be done before we could complete the new flooring system above. We decided upon a 10mm screed and fitted a high density screed, so that the area would be both very strong, and remain dust free. The premises was on the banks of the Thames, and the work had to be completed before the start of the Olympics which was in just a few days.
