Client: Wall Coating – Cheese Manufacturing Plant
Industry: Industrial
Scope: Surface Walls
Date: December 2009

OVERVIEW
The existing masonry production area walls (500m²) required a complete re-coat without any disruption to other areas of the plant. It also had to be carried out in a very tight timescale and have no odours. The surface finish had to be easy to wash and decontaminate seamless with food contact approval.
