We were contacted with an interesting and very detailed project to be carried out for a Ministry of Defence Training Establishment. The project involved the creation of a new training area, simulating a ship based enviroment. As a result certain parts of the project had to be completed using the same materials that would be used onboard a ship.

The project area was split over two “decks” and required some very detailed and precise anti-slip and demarcation areas. The two levels were made up of different substrates, the lower level being concrete with steel checker plate conduit covers running throughout, and the upper level being solely steel checker plate.

For the lower level, the client decided on our self-smoothing epoxy system for reasons of durability. The conduit was removed and treated separately while the self-smoothing system was being applied. Once cured, green walkways with an anti-slip finish were applied to the coated surface and bounded by yellow lines. A circular demarcation area made up of a very high profile anti-slip material was applied to the client’s specification, bounded by a hazard marking line which was created using resin in alternate colours.
