FLOORING S FINISHES ms FMs may encounter when projects have involved incorrect sub-floor preparation.
UPLIFTING OLD CERAMIC TILES AND SCREED The Problem As part of a total gym refurbishment, a 1200m2
The Solution
A gas powered 600 ride-on Multi-Stripper was employed with a pick attached to the front of the machine to break up and lift the tiles. The pick was then swapped for a flat blade to remove both the latex screed and residual deposits of ceramic tile adhesive.
The final stage was to grind the surface using the Terrco 3100SP self-propelled Grinding and Polishing machine. A MSS150 multi-surface stripping tool was used to complete the edges, which is trolley mounted with a wide angle of operation and features anti-vibration for operator comfort.
The whole area was cleared with the removed material lifted into skips for disposal.
The Outcome
The surface was made flat and smooth ready for application of a new sports floor and latex and vinyl for the adjoining rooms.
floor
covered in 3mm latex screed and 10mm ceramic tiles needed to be uplifted.
REFURBISHING AN OLD CAR PARK
The Problem A 1970s city centre multi-storey car park was earmarked for a facelift, requiring removal of surface contaminants from years of vehicle traffic and old thermoplastic line markings, ready for a new bright car park decking system with parking spaces clearly defined. The asphalt surface totalled 4000m2
over four levels.
The Solution In a three-day programme per level, the thermoplastic lined parking bays, directional arrows and grids were removed using 320 Planers with milling flails, attached to powerful dust extractors for a clean operation and minimal damage to the asphalt.
Once this process was completed the whole surface was shotblasted using a 558 Shotblaster and filtration unit, cleaning and texturing ready for the 2mm
flexible decking system. The 558 model is powerful enough to deal with the ramps between levels and easily manoeuvred, safely and efficiently preparing to exacting standards. The perimeter edges were lightly ground using the 180 model grinder with dust extraction, for finishing up to the walls and plinths.
The main contractor closed off one level at a time to ensure the car park remained operational. It was important that the processes selected were clean and efficient for the tight rollover programme.
The Outcome The surface finish provided a light profile and clean area for the application and durability of the selected decking system, with new resin lines and safety markings added, brightening and updating the car park.
