OMC Motor Group – Vehicle Workshop Flooring
Client Brief and Recommendation
The client was looking to give their vehicle workshop a more customer ready look, improving the overall appearance and ensuring the floor complimented their main dealership aesthetic as well as being hardwearing and easy to keep clean.
At the site visit it was evident that the existing floor was extremely worn and heavily contaminated with oil and grease and as such would need an Oil Tolerant Primer coat to ensure any remaining oil and grease would not leach to the surface and delaminate the final floor finish. In terms of final floor finish it was recommended a two coat Vehicle Workshop Flooring system was installed. Consisting of two coats of High Build Epoxy Resin, HB Vehicle Workshop Flooring systems are perfect for busy vehicle workshops as they are Hardwearing, easy to clean, impervious to grease and oil and can be laid in bespoke combinations of colours and designs to follow main dealership branding.
In Preparation
In preparation for the recommended 2 coat Vehicle Workshop Flooring system the extremely worn and heavily contaminated workshop floor required grinding back using our captive Husqvarna diamond grinders to remove as much oil and grease as possible from the surface and ensure adhesion with the final floor finish. All the edgework and around the MOT pit and rolling road was ground back using a fully enclosed handheld diamond grinder then the entire area was vacuumed clean of all residues and dust. Repairs were made to any localised damaged concrete, large cracks and holes, as required using epoxy mortar compound.
The final step in the preparation process was to apply one coat of Resdev Pumaprime OCS oil tolerant primer to neutralise any oil contamination.
350 Square meters of vehicle Workshop Flooring
Once the Primer coat was dry, the entire 350 square meter area was given two coats of Resdev Pumatect High Build Epoxy Resin in the clients chosen Mid Grey.
Finally, a 300mm wide band was masked out around MOT pit and Rolling Road and laid with highly contrasting in Resdev Pumatect V, High Build Epoxy Resin flooring system, in the clients chosen safety yellow.
This project was completed Thursday to Saturday to allow a full day curing time before the workshop reopened on the Monday. Completed over the weekend to minimise closure time. It was the fourth project PSC had completed for OMC Motor Group and we were delighted to hear they were delighted with the transformation and had recommended us to another large car group in the north of England.
