Crouch Vale Brewery: Chemical Bund Lining and Chemical Resistant Anti-slip Flooring
Crouch Vale Brewery produces award-winning real ales.
The Client
Due to its ongoing success, the company decided to build a new production area to cope with the increased demand for its beers.
We were commissioned to coat bunded areas so production could commence as quickly as possible.
Challenges
- Our client required our services immediately; a request we were able to fulfil.
- We were to coat a small bunded wall area and create a chemical-resistant anti-slip floor surface within the brewery.
- The work had to be carried out over a weekend so as not to disrupt production.
Solution
We began by abrading the floor with diamond grinders to create a strong mechanical key. We also abraded the bund wall using handheld grinders.
Following this initial preparation, we applied a primer with a layer of course quartz sand to increase the inter-coat adhesion and provide an anti-slip finish.
Once all surface preparation was complete, we applied several top coats of chemically resistant floor coating resin.
The Results
The work was carried out over a weekend in order to minimise downtime. The resulting finish gave the brewery a safe working area in a light pleasing colour, which was durable and easy to clean.
