High-Performance Resin Flooring for Grower Direct’s Packing Shed, Smithbrook

Project Overview

As part of their expansion, Grower Direct established a new packing shed at their Smithbrook farm to support increased strawberry production. The facility required a robust, slip-resistant flooring solution capable of withstanding constant exposure to water, heavy forklift usage, and pedestrian traffic. With stringent safety standards in mind, the flooring needed to achieve a P5 slip rating for maximum safety and functionality.

Grower Direct entrusted FloorCo with the task of delivering a specialised, durable flooring system tailored to meet these demanding requirements.

Our Solution

Working with a newly laid concrete base, FloorCo prepared the surface with a combination of chemical washing and diamond grinding, creating the ideal profile for superior resin adhesion.

We applied the FloorCo Proprietary Heavy Traffic System, a cutting-edge resin flooring solution designed for heavy-duty environments. Engineered for superior durability and resistance to regular water immersion, this system offers a tough, anti-skid surface capable of withstanding the demands of high-traffic, wet environments.

The Outcome

The completed resin floor exceeded Grower Direct’s expectations, delivering exceptional durability and safety. The P5 slip-resistant surface ensures secure movement for forklifts, trucks, and pedestrians, even in wet conditions. This high-performance solution also minimises maintenance requirements, providing long-term resilience and cost-efficiency for the facility.
