Safety Demarcation and Floor Repairs for Athena Foods Abattoir - FloorCo

Safety Demarcation and Floor Repairs for Athena Foods Abattoir, Esperance

Project Overview

Athena Foods, a leading abattoir in Esperance, required a comprehensive safety demarcation installation and floor repairs during a scheduled facility shutdown. The project involved a 450m² work area and a tight deadline, presenting logistical and operational challenges. The existing epoxy flooring was aged and oily, necessitating careful preparation to ensure strong adhesion for the new coatings.

Our Solution

FloorCo implemented a tailored approach to address the project requirements effectively:

Surface Preparation:

  • Conducted precision 100mm-wide grinding across the entire work area to remove oil residues and prepare the surface for optimal adhesion.
  • Ensured the substrate was clean and stable to support the application of new materials.

Safety Demarcation:

  • Applied a high-performance, rapid-cure resin to complete safety linemarking.
  • Designed the linemarking to deliver a P5 slip rating for enhanced safety.
  • Utilised a proprietary linemarking technique, superior to standard paints, ensuring long-lasting visibility and durability in high-traffic areas.

Floor Repairs:

  • Repaired damaged areas using a 100% solids epoxy resin, ideal for reinforcing high-traffic zones and restoring the floor to safety standards.

Efficient Project Execution:

  • Operated in continuous day and night shifts to meet the strict deadline, minimising operational downtime and ensuring timely project completion.
