A failed dairy-brick corridor restored within the shutdown
A deteriorated traffic corridor was rebuilt while coordinating unexpected plumbing work, with the floor returned to service within a Friday-to-Sunday shutdown.
The challenge
The flooring repair grew when deteriorated plumbing was discovered beneath the failure zone. Plumbing replacement required an approximately four-foot-wide, 150-foot-long trench. Work began early Friday and needed to finish by Sunday afternoon to meet production scheduling and cure-time requirements.
The work
As plumbing ran beyond schedule, RC Coatings took on portions of road-base preparation and compaction to maintain the concrete placement sequence. The documented assembly included four inches of rapid-set concrete, mechanical surface preparation and keyway cuts, one inch of hand-troweled Poly-Crete WR, a sand broadcast and two Poly-Crete TF topcoats.
The result
The restored corridor returned to service within the shutdown window. The repair extended toward the forklift doorway to remove transition lips and create a flush floor for heavy traffic and washdown exposure. Follow-on testing of a separate overlay approach was exploratory and is not presented as part of this completed repair.
