Theatre of Dreams

When Manchester United carried out further extensions to their stadium Surface Solutions were called in to carry out works to the concrete when the corner quadrants were built. The new quadrants completed the corners of the stadium adding further seating to bring the capacity of the stadium up to 76,000. When building works were completed it was found there was a difference of floor levels in one area of 50mm. Surface Solutions prepared and filled these areas level so the new carpets could be laid.

Scoop!

The newspaper industry works every day of the year except Christmas Day, the printing presses keep turning. To carry out maintenance work while the presses keep in operation presents major logistical problems to contractors such as Surface Solutions when floors have to be upgraded. They successfully renovated large areas of flooring for the Daily Mirror at their print works in Oldham while the paper continued in production. The works in included the shotblasting and diamond grinding of floors followed by the installation of a high specification pumped screed.

Dam Blasters

No – not with dynamite!

The Water Authority had a problem with the walkway across Baitings Resevoir at Ripponden, the surface was degraded and worn.

Surface Solutions were called in to shotblast the surface to bring it back to a sound base for a new pathway to be laid.
