Concrete Grinding, Sealing, and Clear Coating Project at Burswood Events Centre

Client Overview:

Property: Manukau Event Centre Burswood

Location: 225 Burswood Drive, Burswood, Auckland 201

Job Reference: #AK19758

Scope: Concrete grinding, sealing, and clear coating for an event space floor.

Project Summary:

FlooringPro was contracted to perform concrete grinding, sealing, and clear coating services at the Burswood Events Centre. The project involved preparing the concrete floor for upcoming events, requiring a smooth and durable finish suitable for a high-traffic area.

Objectives:

• Grinding: To provide a smooth, even surface across the event space floor by grinding the existing concrete, removing imperfections and preparing it for the sealing process.
• Sealing: Applying a protective sealant to ensure the concrete floor's longevity and protect it from future wear and tear.
• Clear Coating: Adding a clear coat over the sealed surface to provide an attractive, durable finish that can withstand heavy foot traffic during events.

Challenges:

Discoloration in the Concrete: The concrete had several deep-set stains, but our team successfully removed the majority of them through multiple rounds of grinding. The few remaining stains were minimized as much as possible, without compromising the structural integrity of the concrete, resulting in a significantly improved and polished finish.

Client Scheduling: The project required flexibility due to the client’s schedule, with several reschedules accommodated to ensure the client’s availability during the work.

Solution Implementation:

Concrete Grinding: FlooringPro ground the event center floor thoroughly, ensuring a smooth and even base for the sealing process, effectively eliminating surface imperfections.

Sealing and Clear Coating: A high-quality sealant was applied, followed by a clear coat that not only enhanced the appearance but also improved the durability of the floor, ensuring it could handle the heavy foot traffic typical of events hosted at the venue.

Client Interaction:

The client, was closely involved throughout the project. Multiple communication channels, including phone calls, emails, and SMS, were used to keep the client informed and ensure that the work met his expectations.

Results:

The project was completed successfully. Despite some discoloration that was unavoidable due to the nature of the concrete, the client was satisfied with the final result. The floor now has a clean, professional finish, protected by a clear coat, and is ready for high-traffic events.

The clear-coated floor not only enhances the visual appeal of the venue but also minimizes the need for future maintenance.

Conclusion:

The Burswood Events Centre project demonstrated FlooringPro’s ability to provide expert concrete grinding, sealing, and clear coating services. The team’s adaptability and dedication to client communication ensured the successful transformation of the event space into a durable and visually appealing venue.
