Chemical Plant
Exterior Area
This project contained both internal and external areas. The external area had
loose brickwork toward the bottom of the wall, so our team removed the loose
bricks and infilled using an epoxy mortar to give strength to the wall. Following this
we mechanically grinded the whole floor and then applied a damp proof
membrane. The next steps were to install the coving and a 6mm polyurethane
screed to the floor to give the required resistance to thermal and chemical shock,
along with a lightly textured finish.
This image shows our
team applying the epoxy
mortar infill to the wall.
Here our team have
prepared the floor and
installed chase cuts to
act as anchor grooves
upon chemical cure of
the 6mm polyurethane
screes to provide extra
grip and strength.
Interior Areas
The below photo illustrates the condition of the areas we had to deal with, heavily
soaked in chemicals and oil. Once we mechanically grinded the area we applied two
coats of damp proof membrane, the second coat had kiln-dried silica sand
incorporated to provide a mechanical key for our main system. Again our team saw
cut 20mm x 20mm chase cuts around all perimeter edges and stantions to act as
anchor grooves because when a polyurethane screed cures it shrinks, allowing the
system to grip into the grooves to give added strength.

finished exterior area of the
project.

Application/Installation
The 6mm polyurethane screed is exactly what this client needs to protect the concrete
floor, and to also provide a safe working environment. As pictured above our team
also applied a three-pack polyurethane coving system to all cove areas to give a
consistent finish throughout the areas.
Here our team have have
laid half of the system to
this area.

difference a floor can
make when compared to
before our works started.
Result
This project went smoothly without any issues or delays, achieving exactly what the client
had asked for. A great job by all involved!
The finished looks really
good, ready to provide a
better working
enviroment for the
client.

Keith Brightcliffe30. October, 2018.I have recently had the opportunity to work with Optimum Flooring as part of an intense project for a client I was supporting Project Managing the setup of a new manufacturing plant. From the outset the quality of service from their initial quotation process right through to the completion of the installaton I can only rate as first class! The project was at times extremely challenging due to associated complex technicalities which on several occasions resulted in requesting Optimum Flooring to realign their schedule to meet my clients demands. They were not only truly professional in their overall involvement with the project, but their quality of work was superb. Their team arrived on time and delivered as planned and had at all times a senior supervisor on site to oversee the activity. In conclusion, I highly recommend Optimum Flooring and would not hesitate in utilising their support once again on future projects. Keith Brightcliffe MSc BSc Hon's CMgr FCMI
