Project Overview
- Client: Kform and Sierra Nevada
- Location: Sterling, VA
- Project Duration: 5 days (April 2022)
- Scope of Work: Wall repairs, industrial painting, epoxy floor installation
Project Details
In April 2022, CertaPro Painters® of Loudoun, VA, worked with Kform and Sierra Nevada to provide industrial painting and epoxy flooring for a facility manufacturing metal parts for the military. The scope of work included repairing metal wall holes, applying durable paint coatings, and installing a chemical-resistant epoxy floor. The facility, located next to a washing station using hydrochloric acid, required coatings capable of withstanding this harsh environment. Special equipment and techniques were implemented to ensure the work met the facility’s exacting standards.
Challenges
- Chemical Resistance: The nearby hydrochloric acid washing station made it essential to use a chemical-resistant epoxy flooring system.
- High-security Facility: The project took place in a secured location with no cell phone usage allowed, requiring careful coordination.
- Wall Repairs: Metal walls had damage that needed to be repaired before painting, which required specialized expertise.
Solutions
- Diamond Grinder: A diamond grinder was used to prepare the floors for the epoxy coating, ensuring a smooth, long-lasting finish.
- Backer Rods and Caulking: Expansion joints between windows and brick were sealed with backer rods and caulk, preventing future moisture damage and ensuring the durability of the installation.
Results
CertaPro Painters® completed the project successfully, providing a durable, chemical-resistant flooring system and repaired, painted walls that exceeded expectations. The expert use of epoxy and precise application techniques ensured the flooring could withstand the facility’s harsh chemical exposure. The project not only met functional requirements but also improved the aesthetic and safety of the industrial space.
