Case Study #3
Walker Instore Case Study
What they needed
Walker Instore is a large printing company who specialise in printing cardboard advertising posters – the type you see in places like department stores, which can be up to 3 meters wide.
A new printing machine was due to arrive which needed a completely flat floor. Walker Instore realised that their existing flooring was nowhere near flat – some of it was so uneven that it differed up to 140mm in height between different areas of the floor. They needed the flooring to become level before their printer arrived – with only 4 days to level around 100 square meters of floor.
What we did
To complete the job, we needed to measure the floor accurately to be able to determine how to level it properly. This required setting datums to create a virtual flat surface, via a grid of screw head. This allowed us to determine how best to level out the surface.
We decided upon a high strength screed, and 14 tonnes were pumped and levelled to the datumed grid of screw heads that we had determined. This created a flooring surface that had a level of =/-2mm from one end of the room to another.
Client feedback
The screed that we had chosen only took 3 hours to set and dry – so the printing machine was successfully able to be installed in time and on budget.
