Industrial Case Studies

Sika has recently involved in the construction of a new 3,600m² solid recovered fuel and refuse derived fuel production facility at Nine Mile Point Industrial Estate, Wales.

Sika recently worked together with Konfloor on the concrete floor slab for a new warehouse/distribution facility situated at Tilbury Dock, Essex.

Fortel was appointed to carry out concrete pours for an industrial unit internal floor slab covering a space of 4,005 m² at Fleming Way, High Wycombe.

A container port holding yard typically needs to be sufficiently durable to tolerate a high volume of heavy container cargo, with all the machinery required to achieve that also putting a strain on the concrete surface.

When tasked with a tight timescale and a seamless installation, contractor Malin Floors turned to Sikament® 700 liquid admixture, which meets the requirements of BS EN 934-2, to ensure the desired outcome was achieved for end client; Fife District Council.

After the existing concrete slab failed in the shed bagging area, a fertiliser storage facility at Immingham Dock needed a new solid floorplate…and quick! Located at a major east coast port, the facility has been used for bulk storage for the last 50 years, handling thousands of bags of fertiliser each year. With nine different ranges, the storerooms house a large amount of liquid nitrogen and sulphur fertilisers available to purchase by customers across the globe.

Speed, strength and a sterile environment were top of the agenda for family-owned Little Hill Farm, in Warwick, for the construction of a brand-new, steel-framed, grain storage barn.

Sika® concrete admixtures were the solution for CEMEX UK, when a special low shrinkage concrete was required on the Palm Papermill project, which has recently been constructed by the German company, Glass GMBH in Kings Lynn.

Sika Watertight Concrete is being used to build the floor slab that separates the wet volutes from the dry plant rooms, in the pump hall at the new £38 million St Germans pumping station, currently being constructed by Main Contractor, Costain at Wiggenhall St Germans in Norfolk. The land drainage and flood risk management pumping station, the UK’s largest, spans the middle level main drain, pumping land drainage and floodwaters into the tidal River Great Ouse.

For a company used to the challenges of rigging an enormous range of large scale entertainment shows, when it came to building a robust and durable storage shed for rigging equipment, Unusual Rigging in Northampton turned to Sika to provide a fast and efficient concrete solution which offered increased performance, reduced cost and health and safety advantages.
