The East Westphalian company MKM International GmbH had purchased an old machine hall as part of an expansion at its current location in Bad Oeynhausen. The old magnesia screed was heavily worn and had also been partially softened by moisture.
The local company Eichhorn GmbH was commissioned to carry out the renovation. The hall was renovated in just one section.
The existing floor was milled out with a road milling machine and then shot blasted.
The surface was then pretreated with VELOSIT PR 303 2K epoxy primer and covered with 0.7 mm – 1.2 mm quartz sand. The existing breakouts around some machine foundations were prefilled with round gravel.
A mineral self-leveling coating based on VELOSIT SC 253 was applied as the final coating in layer thicknesses of 10–15 mm. The 60 tons were mixed and pumped using a Bremat S3/15 from Kotan Bau, Hanover.
VELOSIT SC 253 can be mixed with different sand grain sizes depending on the required layer thickness, allowing the processing layer thicknesses to be optimally adjusted between 3 mm and up to 50 mm. After just 6 hours, the surface can then be driven on again with forklift trucks.
The next day, the surface was lightly polished and impregnated with the silicate/siliconate surface finish VELOSIT FH 921. This step significantly improves the ease of cleaning cement-based surfaces, as the pores are sealed and made water-repellent at the same time.
The customer was very impressed by the rapid progress of the renovation. The VELOSIT self-leveling compound was installed in just 6 hours.
It didn’t take long for the hall to be equipped with machines …
