Epoxy Resin Flooring for Plant Manufacturer

Client Requirements

A leading Midlands-based manufacturer of construction plant required a durable new flooring system for 1,400m² of storage and operational space.

The floor needed to withstand the demands of a busy manufacturing environment while providing clearly defined pedestrian routes, crossings and designated pallet storage areas. Thorough preparation and repair of the existing substrate was also required to create a strong foundation for the new resin flooring system.

Overview of Works

Zenith began by preparing the existing floor using orbital diamond grinding under vacuum, removing surface contamination and creating the optimum profile for adhesion. Minor areas of damage were then repaired using epoxy resin mortar to provide a sound and consistent substrate.

Following preparation, one coat of an oil-tolerant epoxy resin primer was applied before the installation of two coats of a high-build Vebro epoxy resin coating. The finished system provides a durable, hard-wearing surface designed to withstand the demands of the manufacturing environment.

As part of the works, our team also completed detailed setting out and masking to create dedicated pedestrian gangways with yellow line markings, zebra crossings and clearly designated pallet storage areas.

Features & Benefits

The flooring system and associated line marking provided a number of practical benefits for the facility:

Orbital diamond grinding: Thorough preparation for improved coating adhesion

Epoxy resin mortar repairs: Restored damaged areas and created a sound substrate

Oil-tolerant epoxy primer: Improved adhesion within a demanding industrial environment

High-build epoxy resin coating: Durable, hard-wearing finish suitable for regular industrial use

Pedestrian gangways: Clearly defined routes to support safer movementaround the facility

Zebra crossings: Improved visibility at designated pedestrian crossing points
