A hot summer, a poor concrete pour, and a building with no electricity. This could have added up to the makings of a failed mission, but with an experienced crew and adaptable materials, the new epoxy floor at a naval base didn’t go awry.

When executives with the global H&M group saw rough and aged concrete at two of its shops in cosmopolitan Hong Kong, they realized they needed help updating the facilities to better convey the brand’s colorful and youthful image.

The uses of epoxy are as wide and various as an understanding of its chemical properties. It is often used in the commercial and industrial sectors, but an often overlooked area of growth is the residential sector.

Before visitors could buy tickets to the new display, though, the Patterson-Stevens crew needed to deal with unexpected moisture in the concrete slab. Polar bears may prefer rivers but coatings contractors surely do not!

When the new property manager, Stoneleigh Companies, took over operations and rebranded the facility, the desire was for every aspect of the complex to mesh with the luxurious theme and look appealing to potential tenants drawn to the sporting area.

When MarkWest Energy began developing plans for a new gas compressor station in the area, they wanted construction solutions they could both trust and install quickly — allowing them to take advantage of reserves as quickly as possible!

It would take a coatings crew that was just as confident to take the nearly bare concrete and turn it into a beefy urethane floor with all the fixins.

The client was converting an old warehouse into a facility that needed to be Federal Drug Administration (FDA) approved. It took a five-person crew and a slew of materials, but PennCoat played its part to help that come to life.

The Glastonbury Festival in Somerset, England, hails 175,000 attendees and 50,000 support staff, not to mention seven stages and a myriad of other areas for entertainment.

Second chances don’t come around very often, so when they do it’s important to make them count. That’s the mentality that Evan Tarabocchia and his crew at Imperial Flooring Systems, Inc. took with a recent renovation at a veterinary hospital in New Jersey.

By size, the largest part of the job was the 2,200-square-foot (204.4 m2) main office area, which consisted of decorating new concrete.

Six chambers, 40,000 square feet total (3,716.1 m²), 65 days. Coating systems that were applied to all walls, columns, and ceilings within the scope of the project. Sounds like a straight forward project, right?

The group wanted to renovate the building for modern use while still retaining a feel of “vintage industrialism” as a nod to Detroit’s history.

The New Britain Rock Cats minor league baseball franchise had been a staple of the community in New Britain, Connecticut, for more than 30 years — until they abruptly left town in late 2015 for a newer stadium in nearby Hartford.

For many, Belize is a place to rest and relax. It’s a small country, and a place where cultures and languages mix. It’s also a place where beans and rice are food staples, which explains why a new facility was being built and why a crew came down not for vacation but to apply spray polyurethane foam (SPF) and coatings on seven bean-holding bins.
