Loading ramp used by fork lifts.
Application Method
Application was carried out in accordance with modified Belzona System Leaflet FPA-8. After abrasive blasting the concrete to roughen and remove the old coating, Belzona® 5811 was applied in chevron pattern and loaded to rejection with coarse grade of aggregate. The entire system was overcoated with Belzona® 5111 to provide UV protection.
