Client and Facility Overview
A leader in highly engineered components, our client has been a mainstay of the manufacturing industry for over a century. The project centered on their historic 100-year-old manufacturing facility, an invaluable space that had witnessed decades of production and required extensive renovations to enhance its longevity and functionality.
Requested Maintenance
The client required extensive industrial cleaning, painting and the installation of an epoxy flooring system. This undertaking was essential to maintain the high standards of the facility and improve the working environment for its users.
Decision Driver and Timing
After years of continuous operation, the facility was showing signs of wear and tear. The need for maintenance was critical to ensure continued production efficiency and safety. The timely intervention was driven by the wear and tear on the existing flooring systems and the need for improved surface coatings to withstand future industrial operations.

Scope of Work
Industrial Cleaning:
- Blowing down the ceiling and walls with compressed air to dislodge loose dust and particles
- Hand-scraping all surfaces to remove any peeling paint
