RESTORING AND PROTECTING INDUSTRIAL Plant WALLS AND KERBS

SUREBOND HAS A PROVEN process TO IMPROVE LONGEVITY OF REPAIRS TO Industrial PLANT WALLS AND KERBS

WHY DO PLANT WALLS AND KERBs NEED TO BE REPAIRED?

FOOD PLANT WALLS AND KERBS NEED TO BE REPAIRED TO ENSURE THAT PESTS (IE. MICE AND RATS) DO NOT ENTER FOAM INSULATED WALLS, AS THEY WILL BE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO EXTRICATE / EXTERMINATE.

THE SURFACES OF WALLS AND KERBS NEED TO BE HYGIENIC AS WELL, TO MITIGATE MOISTURE THERE CANNOT BE ANY RESERVOIRS OF WATER AND ORGANICS WITHIN THE WALL THAT CANNOT BE SANITIZED

ORDERS TO FIX ALL KERBS AND WALLS CAN COME FROM THE CFIA, PROVINCIAL INSPECTORS, HEALTH INSPECTORS, USDA (EXPORT AUDIT FROM CANADA)

AUDIT ITEMS FROM BRC, SQF AND HACCP AUDITS GENERATE THE NEED TO REPAIR. (SADLY ON THE LATTER NOTE, FOLLOW UP ON PREVIOUS DEFICIENCIES COMPLETION BY THESE ORGANIZATIONS CAN BE LACKING)

WHY DO INDUSTRIAL WALL AND KERB REPAIRS FOR IMPACT DAMAGE AND SEAL ISSUES FAIL IN DAYS OR WEEKS?

REASONS: ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING

  • MOISTURE CONTAMINATION / RESERVOIR “BEHIND” WALLS AND UNDER KERBS

  • ORGANIC CONTAMINATION “IN” THE CONCRETE KERBS

  • KERBS COATED WITH A CONTAMINATED RESIN (TYPICALLY: URETHANES / EPOXIES)

  • RECURRING PALLET IMPACT, WASHING: NORMAL EXPECTATION

  • INSUFFICIENT / NON-EXISTENT SURFACE PREP OF WALL AND KERB MATERIALS AS PART OF REPAIR PROCEDURE

  • LOW BONDING STRENGTH OF THE STANDARD MATERIAL USED: CAULKINGS HAVE POOR BOND STRENGTH AND SHRINK WITH TIME

  • INAPPROPRIATE MATERIALS USED FOR REPAIR OF CONCRETE KERBS AS “FILLERS”: CAULKING, PATCH MATERIALS

  • TEMPERATURE OF REPAIR

  • CURING TIME OF THE REPAIR MATERIALS USED

  • POROSITY OF THE REPAIR MATERIALS USED

  • SANITATION CHEMICALS DETERIORATE THE CAULKING MATERIALS OVER TIME

  • USE OF PRESSURE WASHERS TO CLEAN WALLS AND KERBS DRIVES WATER INTO AND BEHIND WALLS AND KERBS

SUREBOND WALL STRATEGY SOLUTION: INSTALL AND FIX WALLS AS WELL AS WE DO OUR FLOOR INSTALLS…BY USING THE SAME MATERIALS AND SURFACE PREP

  • ACCEPT AND DESIGN WALLS FOR IMPACT, WATER, AND SANITATION CHEMICALS AS REALLY “SYSTEM NORMAL”, AND NOT “ABUSE”

  • ELIMINATE THE USE OF CAULKING FOR ANY WALL REPAIRS OR EVEN FLOOR-COVES INSTALLED BY OTHERS

  • DO NOT USE THIN PATCH CONCRETE MATERIALS. DO NOT USE EPOXIES AND URETHANE CEMENTS: THEY WILL ALL FAIL

  • USE SMOOTH, HIGH IMPACT RESISTANT PLASTIC FOR IMPACT AREAS AS A REMAIN-IN-PLACE FORM. DESIGN FOR HIGH COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH

  • AVOID FLASHING AND THIN STAINLESS SOLUTIONS. THEY WILL PEEL OFF OVER TIME WITH REPEAT IMPACTS

  • ADAPT OUR PROVEN SUREBOND SILIKAL® MMA FLOOR SYSTEMS TO WALL REPAIR AND PROTECTION

  • SOLUTIONS FOR HIGH MOISTURE / CONTAMINATED ENVIRONMENTS

  • THERMAL SHOCK / LOW TEMPERATURE REPAIR SOLUTIONS

  • REINFORCE THE WALL REPAIR TO BE STRONGER THAN ORIGINAL SYSTEM TO DEAL WITH CONTINUED, RECURRING HARD IMPACTS
