Case Study: West Yorkshire Police, Wakefield

Esh Construction appointed ACC Flooring Ltd to carry out the resin flooring work to the Vehicle Workshop for West Yorkshire Police which included pedestrian walkways, motor cycle area, vehicle parking bays, wash bay, zebra crossings, hatchings and directional arrows.

All the areas were mechanically prepared by vacuum enclosed diamond grinders to remove all the existing floor coatings and any other laitance.

ACC Maintain Floor Repair, a low odour polyurethane concrete was used to carry out substrate repairs. This product is trowel applied to a thickness of 5 – 10mm and benefits from good chemical resistance, high abrasion and impact resistant properties and due it being resin rich, it can be applied easier and quicker than stiffer screed compounds.

Remmers BS 3000 silk gloss, water emulsifiable, pigmented epoxy coating was applied in 2 coats with a slip resistant aggregate scatter between coats to 400m² including walkways and wash bay areas.

Remmers BS 3000 has excellent abrasion resistance and good chemical resistance properties and are ideal for production areas, such as for workshops and warehouses.

Altro Line solvent free, high gloss, high build epoxy line marking in Safety Yellow was installed to both sides of the walkways in addition to 440m of lines to identify vehicle bays.

Altro Line in Black and White was applied to create three zebra crossings and along with Safety Yellow was used to create hatchings of 15m².

Four directional arrows were also installed in Altro Line in White to assist with vehicle safety and traffic flow.

Altro Line is a high visibility product with good chemical resistance and is the perfect solution for any form of demarcation.

The work was carried out in the agreed timeframe and both main contractor and client were delighted with the finished appearance.
