KTC Edible Oils

Project details

Brookesmith was invited to tender by KTC Edible Oils based Liverpool. KTC are the biggest edible oil supplier in Europe, with 880 square metres of floor in a food production facility within the factory.

Upon assessing the floor, it was very worn, old, and had patches of previous layers of floor paint. The client specified they wanted a new floor that would be long lasting, hard wearing, and easy to clean. The floor must accommodate folk lift traffic and hence they wanted a separate colour for walkways and non-forklift for health and safety reasons, and to comply with the 5S mythology.

The concrete floor was prepared to remove the failed floor paint, thoroughly clean and prepare concrete surfaces using the totally enclosed diamond grinding floor surface preparation system for the main floor and a totally enclosed handheld 110v diamond grinder for the edges. The area was then vacuumed clean all residues and dust with 110v vacuum. Repairs were carried out to any localised damaged concrete, holes and cracks using resin filler.

Two coats of KDR Epocoat moisture-tolerant high build epoxy resin were laid to the entire 880 square metres in the clients chosen colours.

The job was completed within just 4 days and the client is absolutely delighted with the transformation of the floor.
