Problem: The client had a series of remote pump houses with diesel storage tanks inside and these facilities were seldom visited. Should there be a leak of diesel, it could be weeks before it was discovered and it was known that the floors would not hold fluids reliably. Previously the floors have been coated with a conventional solvent based paint and angled edging trims had been fixed to the floor to try and create a containment area. Both of which had failed.

Application Situation
Floors in remote pump houses.
Application Method
Application was carried out in accordance with Belzona Know-How System Leaflets FPA-3 and FPA-7. Following surface preparation, 2 coats of Belzona 5231 were applied to the concrete floor. The joint between the steel edging trim and the floor was then sealed by applying a narrow band of Belzona 2121, reinforced with Belzona 9341.
Belzona Facts
Belzona 5231 and Belzona 2121 offered a simple, solvent free application, and sealed the floor spaces in case of tank breaches. The system also offered good slip resistance under foot as part of the application. The client was delighted with the results and immediately rolled the same solution out to a further 2 pump houses.
