A flying success! | 13 Oct 2003 |
TAG, a major business aviation operator, has refurbished two ex-military hangars at Farnborough, making them suitable for use by modern corporate jets. The conversion required Ryebrook Resins to install Resutile, a specialist aviation-strength floor finish, from Resin Surfaces.
The pre-war concrete base was first removed, before laying a 2mm thick self-smoothing epoxy. Additional preparation by thermal lancing was also carried out to eradicate areas of deeply embedded oil. Existing movement joints in the concrete slab were brought through and filled with an epoxy resin, flexible jointing material. Two final finish coats of Resutile were then laid.
Walkways were highlighted in a poppy red colour, whilst the main floor area was silver grey. The result is a perfect seamless floor coating that has successfully transformed the hangars to bright, clean and attractive operating areas.
