Sheela, Inc. successfully undertook a comprehensive project involving the removal of existing paint from the hanger floor and the application of a high-quality epoxy coating over an impressive 56,650 SF. To ensure minimal disruption to daily operations, the work was strategically performed in phases. The existing floor underwent thorough shot blasting to eliminate paint, debris, and grease, ensuring a clean surface for the next steps. Following the meticulous preparation, a durable 2-coat epoxy system was installed, achieving a consistent thickness of 10 mils throughout. Additionally, vibrant black and yellow markings were applied to the walkways for safety and visibility. The entire perimeter block walls were also revitalized with a coat of primer and two coats of paint, enhancing the aesthetics and durability over 33,150 SF.
