Case Study #10

Transport Depot Case Study

What they needed

This Transport Depot needed a floor surface that could stand up to its business, whilst also keeping an aesthetic appeal. The depot maintains and repairs wagons and vans, so their floor was regularly used with a lot of heavy weight which could potentially be damaged by oil spillages. They needed a hard wearing, durable surface. The transport depot flooring was busy and didn’t have time to stop work and therefore we needed to complete work over a single weekend.

What we did

Maintenance Contracts had competition to win the transport depot’s business – so we needed to prove that we were not only capable of installing a new floor, but also of helping the depot decide on the right flooring system. We decided that the whole area needed to be vacuum blasted to reduce the previous floor, and smooth out the area in preparation for the new flooring. Then we applied a multi-coloured epoxy resin system as it is be hard wearing, anti-slip and resistant to oil spills.

Client feedback

The renovation was completed over a single weekend and the depot reopened with the new floor being able to stand whatever trucks and wagons throw at it.
