Concrete Floor Repair

Performing Concrete Floor Repair with Belzona Epoxy Aggregate for Long-Lasting Protection against Abrasions, Impacts, and Vibrations

Building Specs:

Indoor Ice Skating Rink

Pain Point:

Operational Wear-and-Tear Damaged the Rink’s Maintenance Area and Created a Safety Hazard

Indoor Ice Skating Rink’s Vision:

Create a safe environment for hockey matches, free-skating, and group events

Indoor Ice Skating Rink’s Challenge:

The rink’s operators regularly use Zamboni machines to resurface the ice for a safe and clean customer experience. Over time, the Zambonis damaged the concrete floor of the ice rink’s maintenance area.

First, tire studs formed depressions in the floor. Then, water and ice from an undersized

drain pit pooled into the depressions. Finally, wheel abrasion and continual freeze/thaw cycles cracked the concrete floor and created a safety hazard. 

The Challenge’s Impact on the Rink’s Day-to-Day Operations:

The damaged concrete floor posed a safety hazard to workers and would potentially worsen over time. If rink operators didn’t solve the problem, it could also impede the Zamboni machines’ pathway, which would also put customers at risk.

Using conventional repairs, the rink operators would have had to melt the ice and take the rink out of service for weeks. This would have led to lost use of the rink during that time, adding to the cost of repairs.

To keep their facility safe, up-to-code, and clean, the rink operators needed a quick, long-lasting solution for their deteriorating concrete floor.
