Case Study: Dilapidation Project, Doncaster

Following the successful completion of a large industrial flooring project in Brighouse in 2017 which included the installation of a heavy duty polyurethane screed to 1,870m², Eddisons Chartered Surveyors in Leeds had no hesitation in appointing ACC Flooring to carry out the flooring and wall dilapidation refurbishment to an industrial unit in Doncaster.

The 4,200m² flooring area was shotblasted with diamond edge grinding to remove any laitance.

16Nr Crane Base Plinths of 900mm x 350mm x 70mm were broken off using Hilti Kango, 60m² of overspray @ 50mm to the Spray Booth was removed by Hilti Kango and the surfaces were mechanically prepared with diamond grinders.

1,600 bolt holes were prepared and infilled with ACC Maintain Floor Repair low odour polyurethane concrete floor patching compound designed for thicknesses of 5 – 10mm.

The failed expansion joint compound was raked out, the joints then diamond saw cut and infilled with ACC Maintain Floor Joint Repair low odour polyurethane concrete specifically designed to repair joint arises in concrete floor substrates.

The walls to 650m² were cleaned and Dulux Matt Emulsion paint in Pure Brilliant White applied.

2 coats of AltroShield SF solvent free, high build epoxy coating in Mid Grey with a Chelford aggregate scatter between coats to provide a slip resistant profile was installed at a nominal thickness of 340 microns.

AltroShield SF comes with a 2 year manufacturer’s warranty from Altro. The product has a 5 year life expectancy and offers excellent chemical and abrasion resistance and is made from 48% recycled materials and is ideal for light/medium duty traffic in storage areas, warehouses and light industrial premises.

The project was completed in 7 days to the delight of the client.
