Sui Generis completed a GRP floor lining for a safety equipment supplier who also test fans and extraction units in Harold Hill, Essex.
During the wash down involved and the sheer amount of water being deposited on the floor, a waterproof GRP lining was required to create a fully sealed and safe area for testing procedures.
In addition a Sui Generis site survey conducted revealed holes in the current floor surface and areas where water could track through, causing rot to timber floor supports below.
Sui Generis attended the site and set to work immediately by preparing the existing substrate by giving it a key for the adhesion of the new GRP lining, with floor sanding equipment which was completed within 1 day.
This enabled the laying of the new GRP floor lining the following day.
After sanding out any irregularities to the full lining works that had cured overnight, the first of two coats were added, a pigmented resin wash.
This is applied to fill any small pinholes and give a good depth of colour to the project and acts as a base coat to apply the final anti-slip coating.
On the third and final day all leading edges of the GRP lining were taped neatly and the anti-slip coating was completed with a wax additive applied to all surfaces.
After a cure overnight the GRP floor lining was suitable for foot-traffic, although a full chemical cure takes longer.
Sui Generis completed all works within a 3 day period causing as little disruption to the clients manufacturing and dispatch activities as possible.
