New Drainage & Floor For Chutney & Relish Specialist Shaws Of Huddersfield Ltd

Ultrasyntec were delighted to receive the go-ahead, for the new refurbishment of the food production hall, at Shaw’s Huddersfield Ltd.

The tender included a sand and cement screed, with fall @ 1/50 mm . 45 meters of stainless steel drains, complete with fat traps. The final floor covering is a 9 mm thick Polyurethane screed, with coved skirting formed around the perimeter wall.

In the remainder of the factory, floor and coved skirting repairs, as well as installing 30 meters of stainless steel sheet, to act as a kick plate around the lift shafts.

Stainless steel barriers also had to be installed around various machines and walls.

The added pressure was that we only had 9 days in which to get all work completed.

After floor preparation and all drain channels dug out, we had to lay the fast cure screed, followed by a DPM primer, to speed the floor covering up.

The next three days consisted of the construction of the stainless steel drains and fat traps. Once welded and polished all channels had to be backfilled, leaving 9 mm proud of the floor surface.

The entire area was again primed with a damp-proof membrane, then left to fully cure for 24 hours.

On the arrival the following day, the 9 mm Polyurethane screed was laid, and left to cure, this just left the coved skirting, to be installed.
