IRL has worked directly for Dunlop Aerospace for over 20 years and we are pleased to report on our most recent project for this organisation:
New Production Facility for Dunlop Aerospace Shepshed
Building 10 is a new production facility with a 4,500m concrete floor requiring a finish which would withstand heavy forklift traffic.
The floor was prepared by a suitable combination of dust free vacuum shot blasting, with its own lorry mounted independent 3 phase power supply, diamond grinding and STR light mechanical abrading, containing all dust and debris in sealed containers.
An epoxy resin primer was applied to the prepared substrate prior to the application, by roller and brush, of two coats of a solvent free, high build epoxy resin with a fine grade non-slip pigmented system giving a total dry film thickness of 500 microns. On completion expansion joints and bay joints were installed.
Awarded two separate major contracts by Rolls Royce associated with the refurbishment of both sites.
Number 4 Shop at Ansty is an area of 8000m2 requiring shot blast preparation, removal of existing steel frames and bases, breaking out areas of defective concrete and carrying out all necessary repairs. The finished screed is a 6mm thick epoxy with blue jointing.
The work at PTF 2 Site is an area of 5000m2 dedicated to the production of Aircraft Engines. We installed a surface applied damp proof membrane system followed by an anti-static screed.
We completed within the clients time scales and were commended for our approach to health and safety on site.
