Sonoco are a food packaging company, and any business that deals with food, at any scale, needs to prioritise hygiene. Larger food based businesses need to ensure that they can prioritise hygiene as well as durability. Sonoco needed a flooring system that was both hard wearing and easy to keep clean.
After winning the competition for the contract to install the system, we consulted with Sonoco on what they needed their flooring to do, and how they needed it to be installed. This consisted of vacuum shot blasting the whole area.
We then applied a special 2-3mm Self Smoothing blue resin which needed to be trowelled into place. Because there is so much flooring at Sonoco, we only worked on a small area to start with. The plan was to install the same resin system across the factory and create yellow walkways to keep pedestrians and fork lift trucks apart.
Sonoco were happy with the floor installed by Maintenance Contracts and said the team were very professional.
