Industrial Floor
The Floor That Did Not Need Replacing
A $270,000 replacement avoided with ZYTERRA.
The Problem
- A large logistics warehouse was facing failure of its industrial concrete floor.
- A previous self leveling cementitious screed had failed because excessive water during application left the surface weak and powdery.
- Routine cleaning caused visible material loss and raised concerns about forklift traffic and normal warehouse operations.
- The conventional solution required complete mechanical removal and a new floor system, estimated at approximately $270,000 plus disruption and downtime.
The ZYTERRA Treatment
- ZYTERRA was sprayed directly onto the weak cementitious screed.
- The aim was to preserve and strengthen the existing surface rather than demolish and replace it.
- The previously weak surface showed a significant improvement in cohesion following treatment.
The Result
- The treated floor withstood testing by a forklift weighing approximately 4.5 tons with hard industrial wheels.
- No major surface breakdown was observed after treatment.
- The existing floor remained operational without full replacement.
- Major demolition, reconstruction and downtime were avoided.
