Client and Facility Overview
Our client is a leading manufacturer in the commercial sector. Recognized for their high-quality products, the company operates a state-of-the-art facility in the United States, where they prioritize operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.
Decision Driver and Timing
The need to resurface the floor was driven by the need for a durable, chemical resistant floor. Immediate action was required to avoid future flooring issues that could disrupt production. To address these concerns, the company scheduled a plant shutdown between Thanksgiving and Christmas, a period chosen to minimize operational disruptions while taking advantage of the downtime to clean and refurbish equipment.
Scope of Work
- Equipment Removal: Comprehensive removal of existing equipment to ensure consistent coating thickness.
- Floor Inspection: Detailed inspection and assessment of the floor, including consideration of expansion joints.
- Surface Cleaning: Thorough surface cleaning and preparation, focusing on dust mitigation and proper waste removal.
- Epoxy Coating Application: Application of a robust epoxy coating designed to withstand the specific chemicals used in the facility.
- Daily Progress Meetings: Daily progress meetings between our project manager and the client's project manager to ensure smooth operations.
