Teapots, Tripe and Dambusters

We get some unusual enquiries and work in some strange places. A problem with the walkways around a reservoir earned them the nickname of the “Damblasters” for a time. The surface of the walkway was worn and slippery and a possible health hazard. Using the very latest enclosed dust free shot blasting equipment we were able to key the surface of the concrete so a tough epoxy anti-slip finish could be applied.

Many other interesting sites have been visited over the years from a teapot factory to a tripe producer and manufacturers of all sorts of products from tractors to corn flakes. Each have their own unique requirements.

Shot blasting is not always the answer. Some things cannot be just blast cleaned away, soft contamination such as rubber or adhesives have to be removed by other methods. Diamond grinding can often be the answer. This system can control the depth of removal of the surface layer leaving a smooth finish to the floor that can be sealed and polished to give a natural looking surface.

More aggressive methods can reduce levels, tungsten tipped floor planers wear away surface concrete to reduce floors. This method is used where the surface of a floor is rough and uneven or new falls are required to improve drainage.

Whatever the problem we'll have the answer!
