Case Study #15

Motor Trade Case Study

What they needed

Maintenance Contracts worked with a vehicle maintenance unit. The original flooring system had been incorrectly laid. This lead to an uneven surface with holes and lumps covering much of the surface. We realised that we would have to remove the entirety of the existing surface to be able to reach the standards needed. The client needed a safe working environment, that could be both up to VOSA Standards and still be easy to maintain.

What we did

We first needed to entirely remove the old flooring system and this had to be done in two stages. First, we used a diamond grinder to remove the worst of the lumps and then we used a standard vacuum shot blaster to level the surface out entirely.

When the floor was ready, we used an industrial resin mortar to level it out. Then we applied two layers or light blue resin coating, along with an anti-slip aggregate. For reasons of workplace safety, as well as to comply with VOSA regulations, we applied an exacting series of black and yellow flooring markings, to demarcate both reversing lines and pit edge warnings.
