Aerospace

Regrinding and Recoating an Aircraft Maintenance Hangar Floor

An aircraft maintenance operator, Tuas South

Challenge

A hangar floor used for line maintenance had a worn, pitted epoxy surface that was shedding dust under towed equipment and jack stands. The bay could only be shut for a short weekend window between aircraft rotations, and the new finish had to bond to an old, mechanically abraded epoxy substrate.

Result

The bay returned to service on schedule with a smooth, dust-free surface able to take jack stand point loads.

1,450 m² Floor area Single weekend closure Turnaround
How it was done

The crew mechanically prepared the slab and applied Sparco Epoxy Bonding Primer #100 to seal the abraded surface, followed by a Sparcofloor SL 200 self-smoothing epoxy build coat to restore a flat, chemical-resistant deck.

Polyurethane Screed for a Component Overhaul Bay

A component overhaul workshop, Changi North

Challenge

An overhaul bay handling hydraulic fluids and cleaning solvents needed a level, chemically resistant floor that would not absorb spills, while the existing slab had minor surface irregularities from years of trolley traffic.

Result

The bay now presents a level, easy-to-clean surface that resists staining from routine fluid handling.

620 m² Floor area Primer + screed build System
How it was done

Sparco Epoxy Bonding Primer #104 was used to key the substrate before laying Sparco 3-C Polyurethane Screed, which levelled the trolley-worn areas and provided a high chemical-resistance wearing surface.

Aerospace

Colour-Coded Topcoat for a Parts Storage and Staging Area

An MRO parts logistics unit, Seletar Aerospace Park

Challenge

A parts staging area needed clearly demarcated zones for incoming, quarantine and released stock, on a floor that also had to withstand UV exposure near roller-shutter bays without yellowing or losing gloss.

Result

Zone markings remain sharply defined and the topcoat has held its colour in the sun-exposed bay area.

980 m² Floor area 2-coat zoned finish System
How it was done

After priming with Sparco Epoxy Bonding Primer #100, the team applied Sparcofloor 343 two-component polyurethane topcoat in contrasting zone colours, chosen for its colour and gloss retention under strong UV.

Car Park

Waterproof Deck Coating for an MCST-Managed Multi-Storey Car Park

An MCST-managed residential car park, Jurong West

Challenge

The top deck of a multi-storey car park was showing water seepage into the retail units below after years of ponding at construction joints, and the management corporation needed a slip-resistant driving surface that would not close the deck for more than a few nights at a time.

Result

Seepage into the units below stopped after the resurfacing, and the deck has held up through the wet season without reported ponding.

3,200 m² Floor area Phased nightly closures Turnaround
How it was done

The contractor repaired joints with Sparco Epoxy Thixotropic Compound, primed with Sparco Epoxy Bonding Primer #100, and applied a broadcast-aggregate Sparcofloor WBE 400 water-based epoxy system for a slip-resistant, water-shedding deck finish.

Car Park

Anti-Slip Ramp Resurfacing for a Basement Car Park

A condominium basement car park, Woodlands

Challenge

The entry ramp of a basement car park became slippery in wet weather, causing wheel-spin complaints from residents, while the existing coating had worn through to bare concrete at the tightest turning radius.

Result

Traction on the ramp improved noticeably in wet conditions and no further wheel-spin complaints have been logged.

310 m² Floor area Primer + broadcast topcoat System
How it was done
