Severe Substrate Deterioration and Cracking

The existing concrete floor was plagued by deep structural cracks, surface dusting (laitance), and uneven worn areas. These defects not only posed a safety risk for forklift traffic but also created a high probability of adhesion failure for any new coating. Complete surface restoration was mandatory before the high-performance epoxy system could be applied.

Процесс строительства

A highly efficient multi-system installation process optimized for rapid facility renovation and long-term durability.

Step 01

Comprehensive Site & Substrate Assessment

The 7,000 m² floor, along with the roof and wall surfaces, underwent a rigorous inspection to identify cracks, weak spots, and galvanized metal corrosion. This assessment defined the precise preparation methods and material selection required for the integrated facility-wide renovation.

Step 02

High-Efficiency Mechanical Surface Preparation

To handle the large-scale requirement, advanced mechanical grinding was used on the floor to remove laitance and create an open-textured substrate. Simultaneously, roof and wall surfaces were cleaned and treated to ensure maximum adhesion for the specialized coating systems.

Step 03

Precision Crack Repair & Multi-Surface Leveling

Floor cracks (as seen in initial site photos) and damaged sections were repaired using high-strength epoxy mortar. Wall and roof transitions were patched and leveled to create a stable, seamless base for the subsequent protective layers.

Step 04

Specialized Primer Systems for Diverse Substrates

A high-penetration epoxy primer was applied to seal and strengthen the concrete floor. For the galvanized metal roofing, we used a specialized epoxy-based primer designed to prevent corrosion and ensure a long-lasting bond with the exterior-grade coatings.

Step 05

Heavy-Duty Epoxy Reinforcement & Mid-Layer

A thick epoxy intermediate layer, reinforced with quartz sand, was installed on the floor. This step significantly enhanced the load-bearing performance and impact resistance, preparing the facility for high-frequency forklift traffic and heavy machinery movement.

Step 06

Advanced Wear-Resistant & Exterior Topcoats

The process concluded with the application of a Water-Based Polyurethane Topcoat for the floor and scratch-resistant clean paint for the walls/roof. This dual-protection approach ensures easy cleaning, UV resistance, and maximum surface longevity for the entire facility.
