Refurbishment of Chemical plant in Wrexham

Refurbishment of Chemical plant in Wrexham

Industrial Flooring - Chemical Plant Refurbishment

Thelwell flooring recently undertook the refurbishment of two chemical bunds and a chemical dispatch area for a plant in Wrexham.

The client had been instructed by the environmental agency to attend to the following problems in this area:

  • The bunded area was leaking due the chemical attack to the concrete
  • There were trip hazards present where pedestrians and forklift truck traffic was present. Again this was due to the chemical attack of concrete

Thelwell flooring were employed to make all necessary concrete repairs and then install an acid resistant coating system suitable to protect against high concentrations of Nitric and Sulphuric acid.

We use all our experience to specify the correct product for these high risk areas. It is important to understand that some protective coatings do have acid resistance but in the small print it is only for occasional or short periods of chemical contact or for lower chemical concentrations. if some products are used incorrectly the coating can itself fail quite quickly.

Thelwell flooring provide a quotation based of the full chemical analysis for your specific requirements.

We have acid resistant and protective coatings for all of the following or a mixture of scenarios:

  • Full 24/7 chemical containment or contact for low or high concentrations
  • Occasional chemical spills or to protect in the event of an emergency
  • Protection against severe thermal shock -200 degrees celsius to 165 degrees celsius
  • Coatings for high taffic areas or production areas where impact and abrasion resistance is vital as well as chemical resistance
  • Fast drying systems. We use a range of products that are ready for foot traffic after as little as 8 hours and ready for chemical contact after 24 hours hours to ensure your minimum downtime in the area

The success to each application lies in the scale of floor preparation we carry out prior to installing. We ensure the concrete structure is cleaned mechanically to expose clean sound aggregate and a course open texture to achieve the maximum bond for all materials.
