Silikal R61 industrial floor as part of maintenance shop expansion. Construction could continue on top of our finished floor, unprotected, 1 hour after completion. Wheeled traffic, no problem, 1 hour after completion.

SureBond installed Safety Yellow Lines with phosphorescent flake. This provides a measure of safety during a power black out at this remote northern BC location.

The safety yellow lines are permanently bonded to the Silikal(r) floor. There has been ZERO re-painting of the lines as of 2025, 12 years after original work was complete.

The Silikal R61 anti slip floor provides anti slip near ledges in this locomotive repair shop.

Flooring work safely occurred at 3 levels, on both sides of each locomotive station.

Safety is critical for all railroad work. SureBond staff are all eRailSafe, as well as COR(r) ACSA Alberta.

Finished true, industrial, anti slip floor on all locomotive platforms.

Clean and cleanable maintenance areas, with a light reflective floor provides a great work environment for maintenance trades.

SureBond would typically receive a floor area for 2 days. 1 day for prep. 1 day for floor installation. Returned to full service when we left the maintenance shop each day.
