Maintaining a building in a good working condition takes a lot of effort from maintenance mangers and asset owners.

Scheduled maintenance like plumbing, electrical and small repairs keep the facility operational.

However, issues like joint deterioration, cracks, spalling and water ingress/seepage affect the integrity and longevity of the asset. These kinds of issues are usually not covered by a maintenance schedule. 
But this is something Waterstop Solutions can set up with you.

With a maintenance schedule we identify potential problems early and rectify before they become an expensive repair and a structural issue.

Warehouse slabs, cold room floors and driveways are subject to impact damage to forklifts and especially electric forklifts.

The small, solid rubber wheels impact joint shoulders and any small imperfections on the slab. Often these areas will “grow” rapidly and become a potential risk for operators.

Services we regularly carry out in Warehouses and Distribution Centres include joint sealing repairs of this nature together with repairs of damaged concrete in addition to stabilising and lifting slabs, structural crack repairs, leak sealing and removing trip hazards.

The Benefits of Floor Joint Rehabilitation:

* The best surface for safe and efficient movement of goods is a smooth, hard and uninterrupted surface.

* Improved productivity of material handling and traffic efficiency.

* Vehicles can move at speed without slowing down to manoeuvre over separated joints.

* Reduced vehicle repair costs and downtime due to wheel replacement.

* Time and Cost Effective Solution – If left untreated, the defect grows wider and deeper and will eventually require expensive and time consuming repairs.

* Reduced impact points for hard wheeled traffic.

* Reduced risk of injuries due to load tipping.

* Reduced risk of claims from drivers due to lower back distress caused by jagged movements due to wheels getting caught in gaping and deteriorated floor joints.
