Project Description

The Project: Refurbishment of a 900,000 sq. ft. Wilkinson’s warehouse and distribution centre. The refurbishment included necessary tanking works to several conveyor belt and lift pit areas.
As part of a general refurbishment of Wilko’s 900,000 sq. ft. distribution centre in Monmouthshire, South Wales, Protectahome were approached by the main contractor to provide necessary tanking works to the walls and floors of the distribution centre’s conveyor belt and lift pit areas.

Retaining between 600mm and 3500mm and constructed of blockwork and concrete, the work area totalled in excess of 480 sq. m. and required tanking using Fosroc CM210 flexible cementitious coating.

Protectahome were appointed by the main contractor to complete the works within a very tight timeframe so as not to disrupt the wider extensive construction programme.

Protectahome’s NVQ qualified and blue skilled worker CSCS carded operatives were able to quickly and efficiently apply the elastomeric cementitious coating to the wall and floor surfaces following the specification for Fosroc CM210.

Critical to the timeframe of the job, the application utilised specialist spray equipment  which greatly enhanced the rate of application over a large area.

Despite the additional logistical challenge of following strict COVID-19 protocols, Protectahome were able to complete the works to a high standard within the extremely tight deadline allowing the main contractor to avoid any costly delays whilst continuing the wider construction works on schedule.
