Automotive Factory Flooring Transformation
Project Overview
Complete overhaul of a 5,000m² automotive assembly plant floor requiring extreme durability and precise demarcation.
Expertise You Can Trust
With over 15 years of industry experience, UK Commercial Flooring delivers precision-engineered solutions.
The Challenge
The existing concrete floor was heavily oil-stained, pitted from impact damage, and lacked defined safety walkways, causing operational inefficiencies and significant safety risks for the workforce.
- Heavy oil contamination requiring deep cleaning
- Tight 48-hour shut-down window over a weekend
- Need for extreme impact resistance for heavy machinery
- Strict Health & Safety demarcation requirements
Expertise-Driven Solution
We implemented a comprehensive 4-stage process including shot blasting, oil-tolerant priming, and high-build epoxy application.
Step 1
Captive shot blasting to remove contaminated surface layer and expose aggregate.
Step 2
Application of specialist oil-tolerant epoxy primer to ensure adhesion.
Step 3
Installation of two coats of high-build epoxy coating in light grey.
Step 4
Precision demarcation of safety walkways in safety yellow and hatched areas.
The Results
A pristine, showroom-quality production floor that resists oil, chemicals, and heavy machinery traffic. The new demarcation has streamlined workflow and improved safety compliance.
| Metric | Before | After | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light Reflectivity | 20% | 85% | +325% |
| Impact Resistance | Low | High (60N/mm²) | Significant |
| Cleaning Time | 4 hours/shift | 45 mins/shift | -81% |
| Slip Resistance (PTV) | 25 (High Risk) | 45+ (Low Risk) | Safety Compliant |
