BRYANT PARKS AND REC AQUATIC CENTER
CertaPro Painters of Central Arkansas
Concrete Flooring Project in Little Rock, AR
In early September 2022, CertaPro Painters of Central Arkansas undertook a significant flooring project at a bustling municipal aquatic center in Bryant, Arkansas. Our goal was to enhance safety and functionality in various areas of the center, spanning over 2500 square feet. This case study explores the challenges we faced, the solutions we implemented, and the impact of our work on the facility.
The project location was the bathhouse hallways, front desk area, and party room of the aquatic center. These areas are high-traffic zones, frequently traversed by patrons moving to and from the pool. The existing sealed concrete flooring, while visually appealing, posed a safety risk due to its slippery nature when wet.
Preparation and Challenges
Upon initial assessment, our team noted that the concrete floor, despite its good condition, required an upgrade to address the slipperiness issue. Our task was to apply a more suitable flooring solution that included anti-skid properties to prevent falls and ensure the safety of the center’s patrons.
Given that the facility was scheduled to reopen within a week, our timeline was incredibly tight. The center was closed temporarily, and we had just four days to complete all phases of the project before it reopened to the public. This deadline created a pressing challenge: to efficiently manage our time while ensuring top-quality application and drying times.
Project Execution
The project kicked off with the fortification of existing cracks in the concrete to ensure a smooth and even surface. Next, we performed a diamond grind on the floor to prepare it for the new coating. This process not only cleaned the surface but also enhanced the adhesion of the new materials.
Following the grinding, we applied a base coat that serves as the foundation for the anti-skid properties. We then broadcast decorative flakes across the area to provide extra grip and aesthetic appeal. The final step was the application of a polyurea top coat, chosen for its durability and quick-drying qualities, which was crucial given the project’s tight timeline.
Special Equipment and Techniques
The use of a floor grinder was essential in this project. This equipment allowed us to efficiently prepare the surface for the new coatings. The grinder is particularly effective in ensuring that the base layer adheres well to the concrete, which is vital for the longevity and effectiveness of the anti-skid properties.
Conclusion and Impact
Despite the condensed timeline and the challenge of working within a busy public facility, our team successfully met the project deadline. The newly applied floor coatings have significantly improved safety in the aquatic center, reducing the risk of slips and falls associated with wet surfaces. Feedback from the facility management has been overwhelmingly positive, citing improved patron confidence and satisfaction with the new, safer flooring.
