At Citywide Epoxy Coating, we specialize in transforming large, high-traffic commercial spaces with durable, aesthetically pleasing flooring solutions. One of our recent projects was a complete flooring overhaul at a 30,000 sqft manufacturing facility. The facility required a flooring solution that could handle robust machinery, high traffic, and frequent cleaning, while also providing a safe and visually appealing environment.

Here’s how we tackled this large-scale project and delivered a seamless flooring solution that exceeded the client’s expectations.

The Challenge: A Large, High-Traffic Manufacturing Facility

Our client, a manufacturing company, needed a flooring solution that could support the heavy demands of their operations. Their current floor was riddled with saw cuts, cracks, and wear from years of heavy machinery use. The space was vast—spanning 30,000 square feet—and required a durable and functional floor that would be easy to clean, resistant to heavy equipment, and safe for their workers.

The challenge wasn’t just the size of the space but also the timeline. Our client needed the facility up and running as quickly as possible to avoid any significant downtime. They reached out to us because of our reputation for delivering timely, high-quality epoxy flooring solutions.

Our Solution: High-Performance Industrial Epoxy Coating

To tackle this project, we brought in our skilled crew along with the necessary large machinery to complete the job efficiently and to the highest standard. Here’s a breakdown of the steps we took to transform the factory floor:

Diamond Grinding: The first step was to prepare the existing concrete floor for the epoxy coating. Using our state-of-the-art diamond grinding machinery, we meticulously ground down the entire 30,000 sqft surface. This process removed any old coatings, debris, and imperfections from the floor, creating the perfect surface for the epoxy to bond to. Diamond grinding also ensured that the floor was level, smooth, and free of uneven spots.
Saw Cut and Crack Repairs: Throughout the facility, there were several saw cuts and cracks that needed attention. We carefully filled and repaired these areas, ensuring a seamless, smooth surface across the entire floor. Our team paid close attention to every detail, filling in cracks and addressing any imperfections to guarantee the floor would be both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Industrial-Grade Epoxy Coating: Once the floor was properly prepared, we applied two coats of 100% solid industrial-grade epoxy coating. This type of epoxy is known for its high durability, resistance to chemicals, and ability to withstand heavy foot traffic and machinery use. The two layers of epoxy provide a thick, protective finish that is designed to last for years.
Aluminum Oxide for Grip and Safety: Safety is a top priority in any industrial setting, which is why we added aluminum oxide to the epoxy coating. This added grit to the surface, providing enhanced slip resistance. The aluminum oxide also ensures that employees working in the facility have a secure footing, reducing the risk of accidents due to slippery floors, even in high-traffic areas.

Timely Execution: Meeting Client Deadlines

Time was a critical factor in this project. The client needed the facility operational as soon as possible, and we worked closely with them to meet their required deadlines. We coordinated with the client to ensure that the work was completed on schedule, minimizing any disruptions to their manufacturing process. Our team worked diligently, efficiently, and safely to ensure that the flooring project was completed promptly without compromising quality.

The Result: A Durable, Easy-to-Maintain Floor for a High-Traffic Manufacturing Facility

The finished result is a stunning, high-performance floor that perfectly suits the needs of the manufacturing facility. The industrial-grade epoxy coating not only gives the floor a sleek, polished appearance but also makes it incredibly easy to clean and maintain. The surface resists stains, oils, and chemicals, making it ideal for a manufacturing environment where spills and messes are common.

The floor is now equipped to handle the heavy machinery used throughout the facility, ensuring long-lasting durability even under the most demanding conditions. The addition of aluminum oxide provides safety and grip, making the space safer for employees working in the area.
