Union Tractor offers quality replacement parts and services for a wide range of construction (no transportation) equipment. The service facilities are equipped to handle repairs for a broad range of machines. THE CHALLENGE The east side of the machine shop floor had extreme grooves, 4”-6” deep, some of which went through the concrete. Severe spalling and impact marks were created when tracks were removed from the machinery. The bare concrete in the lunchroom was soaked with oil and the washroom had old vinyl composition tiles. Union Tractor wanted to eliminate the grooves and impact marks in the flooring to enhance movement of tools for equipment repair, to brighten the shop and create a slip-resistant environment that would also be easy to clean.
THE STONHARD SOLUTION The Stonhard team recommended a system of Stonkleen DG9, Penetrating Primer, Standard Primer, Stonset TG5, Stonset Primer, Stonclad GS, Stonkote GS4 Silver Gray and Texture #2 for the east side of the shop. Stonset PM5 and Stontec ERF Silver Gray with Graphite Flakes were used in both the lunchroom and washrooms. These products, in combination, allowed for a faster and less costly option over removing and pouring new concrete. Stonkleen DG9 was used to wash the areas, which were then shot blasted, twice in some areas. The Stonhard solution resolved the issues of grooves, spalling marks and cracks in the floor. The use of Silver Gray GS4 added the desired extra light. Had the customer not utilized the provided solution, the issues would have continued. Likely, the concrete would also have required replacement with new, poured concrete slab - costing more money and a longer turn-around.
