Case Study: Transformation of an Old Mechanical Workshop
INTERNAL PREPARATION AND REPAINTING FOR CAR STORAGE AND PREPARATION
Client Requirements
The client, a car dealership, acquired an old mechanical workshop that needed significant refurbishment before it could be repurposed for storing and preparing cars for sale.
The primary requirements included:
• Thorough degreasing to remove years of accumulated oil and grime.
• Preparation of surfaces, including walls, floors, and ceilings, for repainting.
• Remedial repairs to damaged concrete floors.
• Application of durable high performance protective coatings to all surfaces to ensure a long-lasting and easy-to-clean finish.
Scope of Work
Our scope of work for this project included the following key tasks:
• Initial site assessment and planning.
• Extensive degreasing of all surfaces to eliminate contaminants.
• Surface preparation, including sanding and patching as needed.
• Remedial repairs to cracks, levelling of uneven surfaces and mechanical grinding of entire concrete floor.
• Application of a high-quality epoxy coating to floors.
• Final inspection and quality assurance checks.
EXECUTION
Initial Site Assessment and Planning
The first step in the project was a thorough site assessment to evaluate the condition of the workshop and identify any specific challenges. Our team conducted a detailed analysis and developed a comprehensive plan to address all aspects of the project.
This planning phase was crucial to ensure that all client requirements would be met within the established timeline.
Degreasing and Surface Preparation
Given the workshop’s history, degreasing was one of the most critical tasks.
Our team used industrial-strength degreasers to remove years of accumulated oil, grease, and grime from all surfaces.
​This process involved:
• Applying degreasers to all surfaces and allowing sufficient dwell time for effective action.
• Using high-pressure washers to remove loosened contaminants.
• Repeating the process in heavily soiled areas to ensure complete cleanliness.
Once the degreasing was completed, we moved on to surface preparation. This step included sanding, patching holes, filling cracks, and smoothing surfaces to create an ideal substrate for the epoxy coatings.
Remedial Repairs to Concrete Floors
The concrete floors required significant attention due to cracks and other damage.
Our team employed the following methods to repair and restore the floors:
• Cleaning and removing loose debris from cracks and damaged areas.
• Filling cracks with high-quality concrete fillers and ensuring a level surface.
• Smoothing and sanding the repaired areas to integrate seamlessly with the existing floor.
Application of Epoxy Coatings
The final and most transformative step was the application of epoxy coatings. Epoxy was chosen for its durability, resistance to chemicals, and ease of cleaning.
The process included:
• Priming the prepared surfaces to enhance adhesion.
• Applying multiple layers of epoxy coating, allowing sufficient drying time between layers.
• Ensuring even coverage and a smooth finish on all surfaces, including floors, walls, and ceilings.
The use of high-quality epoxy coatings provided a robust and aesthetically pleasing finish that would withstand the rigors of a workshop environment.
CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS
Throughout the project, our team encountered several challenges, including:
• Heavy contamination from oils and greases requiring multiple rounds of degreasing.
• Deep cracks and significant damage to concrete floors necessitating extensive repairs.
• Ensuring proper ventilation and drying times for the epoxy coatings to achieve a flawless finish.
Despite these challenges, our team’s expertise and meticulous approach ensured that each issue was effectively addressed, resulting in a successful project completion.
OUTCOME & CLIENT SATISFACTION
The transformation of the old mechanical workshop was remarkable. The newly refurbished space met all the client’s requirements and exceeded their expectations in terms of quality and durability.
Key outcomes included:
• A spotless and contaminant-free environment ideal for car storage and preparation.
• Repaired and reinforced concrete floors providing a stable and durable foundation.
• Epoxy-coated surfaces offering long-lasting protection and ease of maintenance.
The client was highly satisfied with the result, praising our team’s professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to deliver within the agreed timeframe.
