providing a safe, clean and smooth floor surface without
potholes and bumps.

One common problem
with concrete is that it cracks.
Cracks are the start of further slab
damage, as well as a place to harbor
dirt, debris, and bacteria.
Concrete cracks for many reasons.
Most cracks can be permanently repaired,
depending on the reason for their
development. We use different
types of systems to make repairs.
The above photos are one examples of the
crack healing process. |
Another common problem is irregular transitions in
slabs. They can cause damage to equipment product
and pose a danger for lift operators. Transitions
are repaired by using a high strength repair mortar to
feather off high edges and provide a smooth rolling
surface. Your employees will really appreciate
these types of repairs.
Concrete floor joints can have different issues from
being a bump or to having actual slab movement when
loads go over them. We have developed a repair
system to connect slaps together and still allow
movement for expansion. This method utilizes steel
reinforcement rods, slip fittings, ridged and
semi-ridged polymers.
Sometimes, cracks and joints are just low,
deteriorated or unsanitary. Cracks and joints
can be prepared and filled with a semi-rigid polymer
that provides a flexible but somewhat hard wearing
surface where the cracks were.
Many times, concrete develops rough areas due to
wear or bad sections in the concrete. These
areas are repaired with a high strength epoxy mortar
repair system that eliminates the holes or rough
areas and restores surfaces to better than new
conditions. A smooth work surface improves
employee safety and makes rolling loads, and any
traffic, move more smoothly.
Many times, large expansion joints in floors become
a rolling load problem; they can tip or cause
product to shift. These large joints can be
properly prepared and filled with a semi flexible
repair mortar to product a smooth transition from
one side to the other. These types of repairs
will make traveling over these "hard to get over"
spots a thing of the past and will improve employee
safety.
Rapid setting
Polyurea joint filling system
eliminates downtime due to rapid cure and is ready
for traffic on one hour. The system will
support concrete edges better than soft, flexible
joint compounds, and eliminates edge breakage due to
load transfer. This 100% solids, non-toxic
system offers application at temperatures from 40˚F
to 130˚F and maintains
flexibility even in low temperatures.
Available colors are: black, dark gray, light grey
and tile red and is USDA approved.
Typical uses are: industrial facilities, freezers,
retail stores, warehouse floors, food processing,
manufacturing facilities.
We provide crack and joint repairs for most of our
flooring systems applications and have many
different time-tested preparation and application
methods to fit the needs of your application.
Although every application differs in condition and
type of service, we can solve most floor and joint
repairs.
