The project brief
Refurbishing warehouse resin flooring Rhondda for expansion
The client, a major South Wales manufacturer, had purchased the industrial unit to provide additional space as its business expanded. This warehouse resin flooring in Rhondda needed to support that move while addressing the condition of the inherited floor.
The warehouse provided the extra capacity required, but the existing floor presented a major refurbishment challenge. Large areas contained old, heavily deteriorated resin flooring, while other sections consisted of oil-affected concrete in a poor state of repair.
Beneath the failed surface, SRS encountered cracking, holes, worn concrete and numerous damaged areas that could not simply be hidden beneath a new coating. The substrate first had to be mechanically prepared and properly repaired.
Programme was equally important. Once Phase 1 was completed, the manufacturer needed to begin moving machinery into the unit and installing racking while SRS continued the remaining flooring works.
- Old resin flooring showing extensive deterioration
- Oil contamination across areas of exposed concrete
- Cracks, holes and damaged substrate requiring repair
- Tight programme linked to the manufacturer’s move into the building
Key principle: this was not a cosmetic recoating project. The success of the new epoxy flooring depended on dealing correctly with contamination, failed coatings and damaged concrete underneath it.
