Scope Of Work

For this project, we worked closely with Tri Tech Labs in Lynchburg VA to solve a moisture vapor problem in their concrete floor while providing a smooth, hygienically cleanable epoxy floor for their packaging and filling lines. This was a renovation project turning an older bunker of a floor into a modern-day packaging line using a liquid applied epoxy flooring system. The process started by steel shot blasting the previous, oxidized and worn concrete substrate which removes the surface layer of old concrete thereby providing the proper anchor pattern for the new floor system to properly bond. In the process we also encountered contaminates embedded in the concrete threatening disbondment of the new coating. This required vigorous cleaning to remove as much of the contaminants as possible.

Once the blasting and surface cleaning was completed, we routed and filled the cracks in the concrete using a semi-rigid epoxy filler designed to allow movement "under" the coating system and within the joints minimizing the possibility of cracks in the finished floor system. On this particular project we used the Aquafin moisture remediation system. Vaportight SG2 was chosen for not just moisture vapor protection but also to prevent capillary infiltration of oil and chemicals that may remain in the slab. The final step was the application of General Polymers 100% solids epoxy floor coating which is both chemical resistant and extremely durable. The end result was a cleanable, aesthetically pleasing floor system perfect for any modern-day business to set foot on.
