More than 3,700m2 of high-performance flooring was installed at a BMW processing plant in under a week thanks to Sika’s quick and easy-to-apply Sikafloor®-235 ESD resin coating.
BMW set a testing brief for the project, requiring a hard-wearing floor that would provide protection against the electrical components work undertaken across three areas at its Oxford site but also only providing a six-day window for the works to be completed.
Contractors IRL Group was selected to carry out the installation and turned to Sika for a product that could deliver the standard of flooring required to the given timeframe. Sikafloor®-235 ESD provided the perfect solution, which saw IRL Group and Sika win the Large Industrial Project of the Year award at the 2017 FeRFA Awards.
Mark Ollerenshaw, Managing Director of IRL Group, said: “Given the size of the project and the short amount of time given to complete the installation, the ease of application of Sikafloor®-235 ESD was a particularly crucial factor in its specification. This project demonstrates what can be achieved through the combination of the skills and experience of our on-site teams and the excellent working relationship we enjoy with Sika; we made possible, the seemingly impossible.”
