The mining and resource sector has demanding environments that must withstand use 24 hours a day, harsh chemicals, and large vehicles. This makes it absolutely necessary to use heavy-duty flooring that can withstand these conditions daily. Your flooring solutions for industrial & mining applications need to withstand a wide variety of impact and abrasive conditions. You also need to consider different industrial flooring in different areas, such as in heavy-duty workshops, food halls and amenities.
As they are frequently located in isolated, exposed places that are vulnerable to heat, cold, and dust with huge teams of staff working and living on-site 24/7, flooring for the mining industry can frequently confront challenging problems. Due to the isolation of many locations, concrete flooring solutions must be durable, long-lasting, and simple to maintain.
In an industrial facility, floor coating performs the most difficult duty. It must survive severe impact, high temperatures, corrosive liquid, continuous usage, mechanical wear, and other mistreatment, to mention a few. Everything is at risk if the floor is unable to take the pressure.
Robex offers the mining & industrial industry unique flooring solutions of the highest calibre. When deciding on flooring for the mining industry, it’s important to know what to look for.
What to look for in flooring for the mining industry
Chemical resistance
Epoxy and resin flooring that is made for high-impact use and resistant to acids, solvents, and chemicals are the best solution for mining and industrial flooring. Finding a system that can withstand heavy machines, dust, and scratches ensures that your flooring will last longer.
Anti-slip protection
In mining and resource environments, safety comes first. When considering a flooring solution, ensure that your flooring has anti-slip protection to prevent your staff from possible mishaps. Look for safety flooring that can be tailored to your mine site’s needs, providing additional defence against things like dust, corrosion, and spillage.
Heavy-duty flooring to handle impact
Your industrial flooring needs to readily manage heavy traffic, huge machinery, abrasion, or harsh chemicals. Mining facilities are a high-impact environment, and finding a solution with excellent wear and chemical resistance is imperative.
