Don't stop the press
October 1st 2007 The CoGri Group has
completed a major upgrade
of the 3500m2 concrete floor
at Trinity Mirror's print works
in Watford, while allowing
the company's newspapers
and magazines to be printed
with minimum interruption.
Installation of new printing
presses and a laser-guided
vehicle system for moving
1.5 tonne paper rolls around
the production area required
the existing floor to be
repaired and upgraded. An
initial profileograph survey of
the existing floor by CoGri
staff identified areas that did
not meet the DIN18202
standard required for the
new reel-handling system to
work properly, and these
were rectified as required
following removal of the
existing concrete paint.
CoGri also repaired 300
metres of floor joints, using
high-quality epoxy mortar to
re-build the joints, before recutting
them, filling them to the full depth with semi-rigid
sealant and grinding them
flat to produce a completely
even surface. Finally, the
whole floor was coated with
a clear sealant. More articles from Concrete Grinding Ltd: |
