Brewery Flooring Case Study

Transforming the Bottling Floor at Pilot Project Brewing: A Seamless Restoration
At CertaPro Painters, we excel in delivering exceptional results, even under challenging conditions. Our recent project at Pilot Project Brewing in Milwaukee, WI, demonstrates our ability to partner with clients in crafting innovative solutions while maintaining their operations. Tasked with restoring the bottling floor to withstand constant water runoff, our team applied urethane cement coatings and concrete repairs without disrupting the brewery’s production schedule.

About the Project
- Client: Pilot Project Brewing
- Location: Milwaukee, WI
- Year: 2024
- Project Scope: Bottling Floor Urethane Cement Coating
Background:
Pilot Project Brewing enlisted CertaPro Painters to repair and enhance the bottling floor of their facility. Frequent exposure to water runoff had eroded the concrete, this resulted in the need for durable urethane cement coatings to protect the floor and ensure long-term functionality. In addition to coating the floor, our team repaired embedded concrete drains to address damage and optimize performance.
Unique Challenges:
- Conveyor Belts: The bottling floor’s conveyor belts, essential to production, were hoisted into the air during repairs. This required precision and careful coordination to work around the equipment without causing disruptions.
- Production Schedule: To eliminate production losses, our crews worked exclusively during downtimes, adhering to a tight schedule while maintaining high-quality standards.
Results:
CertaPro Painters successfully completed the project on time and within budget. The bottling floor now boasts a pristine, durable surface capable of withstanding constant water exposure. By meticulously navigating unique challenges, including conveyor belt adjustments and production constraints, we ensured Pilot Project Brewing experienced no downtime during the project.
