Application Situation
New construction of arena floor used for hockey and other events contained threaded anchors for sporting furniture.
Application Method
Application was carried out in accordance with Belzona Know-How System Leaflet FPA-10. The floor was laid out to expose the more than 700 anchor locations. The concrete chipped out to expose the anchors. Release agent treated all-thread was used to form anchor thread in the Belzona® 4111.
Belzona Facts
There was no other easy way to restore the floor quickly except replace the entire floor. Previous experience with the building manager & the NHL at another St. Louis location proved that Belzona® 4111 would work. Time was short so that a fast solution was needed to meet the buildings opening schedule. Anchors are still effective 15 years on.
