CoGri RapidMender

CoGri Rapid Mender is a specially formulated rapid setting concrete floor repair product. The CoGri Rapid Mender is ideal for all types of concrete floors repairs including, concrete repairs to cracks, divots, delamination and damaged and spalled floor joints.

As the CoGri Rapid Mender is fast setting and cures in just 15 minutes, this allows traffic to operate on the newly repaired floor in 30 minutes! This offers major benefits over more traditional concrete repair products, through minimal downtime and disruption.

Even in freezer environments at temperatures down to – 30 0c the CoGri Rapid Mender still performs. (Please note, setting times increase marginally with cooler temperatures).

Screed Testing

FACE Consultants we have a number of screed tests that can help make sure your floor is suitable for practice and or floor coverings.

Humidity screed testing to see if the screed is dry enough for resistant floor coverings.

Pull off testing can also be conducted to test the bond strength of a substrate.

Also included in the range of screed testing services offered is drop testing – also known as BRE screed testing – to test that the performance of the screed is sound enough for service.

Free Movement Survey

Free movement surveys can be conducted where materials handling equipment (MHE) have a large or infinite number of travel paths.

FACE Consultants use free movement surveys to test if your floor meets both your needs and appropriate standards – including property 1, 2 and 4.

Slip Testing

Facilities managers, local authorities and building owners are under obligation to ensure the floor or surface of the fraffic route is not slippery so there is no risk of injury to any person. This is enforced by the “Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992”.

Face Consultants carry out Slip testing in accordance with relevant standards using their TRL Pendulum Tester.

Defined Movement Survey

Defined Movement Surveys are conducted in warehouses where high-bay, high racking installations are present. FACE Consultants can successfully report on a floors compliance to floor specifications based on the findings of our defined movement surveys.

Floors in very narrow aisle racking systems have materials handling equipment that runs in defined and fixed paths between the racking, such as very narrow aisles. The floors are measured by Face Consultants with Face Profileographs of slightly differing configurations.

Abrasion Resistance Testing – Face Consultants

Abrasion resistance is an important performance requirement in warehouse and industrial floors. Floors can be exposed to quite aggressive actions from trucks and other equipment, particularly in factory environments.

Tests are carried out using our purpose designed and built equipment which conforms to the requirements of BS EN 13892-4: 2002. Known as the BCA accelerated test machine, the floor surface is assessed by measuring the depth of wear created by three hardened wheels rotating over a ring shaped area for a standard number of revolutions.

Face Consultants are a UKAS Accredited provider of surface abrasion testing services.
