Northern Monk Brewery – Resin Flooring
Leeds, UK
Description
This project involved the installation of a high-performance resin flooring system at Northern Monk Brewery. The objective was to enhance the brewery’s operational efficiency by implementing a durable, chemical-resistant floor with integrated drainage solutions. The project required precise coordination to accommodate the brewery’s equipment layout and workflow.
Project Scope
- Saw-cutting and excavating the existing floor screed to specified dimensions using advanced machinery, preparing the area for new installations.
- Installing custom-made stainless steel drainage channels and Clean-In-Place (CIP) gullies, ensuring proper alignment and secure connections to facilitate efficient wastewater management.
- Utilizing resin bulk for backfilling around the newly installed drainage systems, chosen for its rapid curing properties to expedite the project timeline.
- Applying a 9mm thick, three-pack, water-dispersed, heavy-duty polyurethane screed, known for its chemical resistance and compliance with industry standards.
- Preparing the canning area floor by installing concrete kerbs, forming floor falls towards the CIP gully, and priming the surface to ensure optimal adhesion of the polyurethane screed.
Project Overview
The project commenced with the removal of the existing floor screed, achieved through precise saw-cutting and excavation using specialized equipment. This preparation facilitated the installation of heavy-duty stainless steel drainage channels and CIP gullies, essential for the brewery’s sanitation processes. The drainage components were securely backfilled with resin bulk, allowing for a swift transition to the flooring application phase. A 9mm polyurethane screed was applied, providing a seamless, durable surface capable of withstanding the rigorous demands of brewery operations, including exposure to chemicals and heavy equipment. The project was completed on schedule, resulting in a robust flooring system that supports Northern Monk Brewery’s production efficiency and hygiene standards.
