Selection Process
The Hockey Arena was seeking a long-term solution for highly trafficked pathways for ice-resurfacer ride-on machines (Zambonis). They wanted a permanent solution with a long warranty.
AppliedeX chose the Ucrete IF flooring system to repair these eroded concrete floor pathways because it offers exceptional durability and resistance to heavy traffic and mechanical wear. This four-component polyurethane concrete system includes metal aggregates, which enhance its robustness and longevity.
Industry
Project Name: Hockey Arena’s Damaged Zamboni Pathways
Location: Ottawa, Ontario
Owner: Private Client
Application: Installation of a polyurethane trowel floor finish to repair concrete floor pathways damaged and eroded by the arena’s heavy maintenance equipment like Zambonis.
Materials Used:
Environment Exposure:
- Heavy machinery traffic
- Constant exposure to water freezing and thawing
- Environment partially exposed to the exterior
- Oil exposure
- Routine washdowns
The Solution
Ucrete IF can be installed at various thicknesses, this allowed us to customize the installation based on the extent of the damage and the expected level of traffic. The system creates a smooth, matte surface.
Additionally, we adjusted the thickness to accommodate the unique service and cleaning temperatures, making it suitable for this environment since it involves fluctuating temperature conditions, and heavy machinery traffic.
These features made Ucrete IF the versatile and reliable choice we needed for repairing and protecting the concrete floors in this demanding setting.
AppliedeX warranties this system up to 10 years.
The Results
This system exceeded the customer’s needs and expectations, and the project was completed on time and within budget.
The Hockey Arena’s Managers were very impressed with the results and happy that the project didn’t incur any additional or hidden costs.
