Jacobs Bakery factory

Project Details

Jacobs Bakery invited us to tender for a floor refurbishment project within the Factory, totaling 2000 square metres of floor in the food production areas to comply with the 5S Methodology. Jacobs Bakery is one of the biggest cracker manufacturers in the UK, producing  4000 tonnes of crackers annually at their Liverpool factory.

The 2000 square meters floor area was to be used for a new production line and existing lines. The client wanted a new resin floor with demarcated areas to show machine areas and pedestrian walkways. It was recommended that the area be prepared and then given two coats of KDR  high build epoxy resin flooring system with safety yellow for the machine areas, green for pedestrian walkways and light grey for general work areas, all finished with blue squares for pallet storage.

The main floor area was thoroughly cleaned and prepared using an enclosed triple headed diamond grinding floor preparation machine and the edges with an enclosed hand held 110v diamond grinder. The area was then vacuumed clean and repairs were made to any localised damaged concrete, holes, bolt holes and cracks using epoxy resin

2000 Square Metres of High Build Epoxy Resin

Once fully prepared two coats of KDR, high build epoxy resin flooring system were laid in the clients chosen colours around and under the production lines.

A 33mm wide boarder was then masked out to create a band around each production line, and a high build epoxy resin black boarder was laid.

The Job was completed in just 5 weeks – on time, within budget and the client was very happy with the finish.
