Challenges
The native, wet conditions of the wash bay posed challenges for the Black Bear team when applying the epoxy. Given the abbreviated timeframe to complete the wash bay project, the installation needed to be quick and accurate with little margin for error.

Black Bear's Solution

Black Bear assessed the wash bay site and determined that a water resistant system was needed to withstand the run-off from production. The flooring and adjacent walls needed to be easily cleaned and maintained throughout the space, and this would be achieved by installing epoxy throughout. The existing spaces were prepped to accommodate a new, seamless solution.
