Renovation of a loading bay at an Apple Cidery.
Application Method
This application was carried out in accordance with system leaflet FPA-03. The first step was to remove and depose of any loose concrete. Once the bulk of the loose concrete had been removed, a concrete scarifier was used to roughen up the substrate before being pressure washed down using UHP (Ultra-High Pressure) water jetting. Once the concrete was prepared, Belzona 4111 was used to rebuild the edges of the chemical drain before 2 coat of Belzona 5231 were applied to the whole bay (270m2). 
Belzona Facts
The distributor had been discussing this application with the client for 1 & 1/2 years prior to winning the project. The total area to be coated was 270m2 and over 40 units of Belzona 5231 were used, in addition to the Belzona 4111 used for rebuilding the edges of the chemical channel.
