Lutec Comicat CM 140 Proves Ideal for Molson Coors Project in Toronto
The use of the Lutec Comicat CM 140 proved to be the right tool when Molson Coors needed to replace a floor at its Toronto facility.
Molson Coors needed to repurpose the concrete floor at its Toronto brewing facility. Besides the floor being 20 years old, the company wanted to convert the property from a production facility complete with bottle washer, filler and pasteurizer that drain onto sloped floors into a warehouse. Approximately 35,000 sq. ft. of concrete flooring needed to be removed from the 60,000-sq.-ft. facility and the sloped floors needed to be milled to prepare for new concrete to be placed back at a level grade. Site Manager Wayne Nyhuis considered redoing the floor in the same manner when he replaced a similar floor 15 years ago. At the time, they used a grinder. “It was messy,” said Nyhuis.
