Retail Loading Dock | NYC, New York
Macy’s | Manhattan, NY
Size: 600 Sq./Ft.
Area: Loading Dock
Product(s) Used: engineered concrete (TPM 711), cement urethane (FasTop SL), epoxy top-coat (GP 4090)
Our client contacted us with a loading dock floor that was damaged and uneven. The existing floor was composed of Belgian block that was sinking in places and unsmooth overall. Our engineers came in a specified a rebuilding of the substrate and an extremely strong cement urethane system. This would even the surface, allow it to take heavy weight loads and leave the client with a durable surface.
We began our first phase by removing all loose debris from the unsound parts of the substrate. We then tamped the existing soil and patched the slab with an engineered concrete product to create a smooth and unbroken surface. We followed this remediation by scarifying the surface to ensure a positive bond with our eventual floor.
For our final flooring application, we installed a base of FasTop SL, a chemical resistant epoxy. Into this base, we broadcast a 30-grit sand to give the floor added strength and a non-slip texture. We then top-coated and sealed the entire system using a charcoal gray epoxy coating.
The client was left with a smooth surface over which carts and traffic could easily roll. The dock was also left with a much more durable coating that will serve them for a very long time.
