Airline Maintenance Centre

New chemical and slip resistant resin flooring for refurbishment of airport maintenance facility

Brief Description

Remmers UK were engaged in a large-scale multi-million pound refurbishment to an existing aircraft maintenance facility, to convert the existing 747 maintenance bays into a multi-model aircraft facility at Cardiff airport for one of the UK’s best-known airlines.

Problems and Requirements

There were a number of differing requirements on the project. Substrates varied between wooden boards on the nose docks, steel plates for the wing docks, and existing concrete for the main hangar floor and mezzanine levels.

Over the years, finishes had suffered significantly on the wing docks through constant exposure to Skydrol. Many years of decay, re-coat and further decay needed to be addressed before the bespoke floor finish could be installed. These areas also required a positive anti slip treatment for workers safety.

Remmers Epoxy WHG Color was specified as the finishing topcoat to all areas to provide long-term durability combined with excellent chemical resistance.

The nose docks are designed to be mobile platforms to ensure they can accommodate a number of models of aircraft.

With this in mind, the finish again needed to be resistant to aviation chemicals but also flexible to allow long term performance on the moving wood boarded structure.

Various challenges existed during the project, such as fast track installation over seven day old concrete, where new ducting and pipework had been installed within the concrete slab.

The overall programme to finish this vast 9000m² space was 11-days, working around other trades to ensure minimal downtime in this busy environment.
