Tight Spaces & Even Tighter Timelines

As the exclusive flooring contractor for Vitasoy USA, Black Bear Coatings & Concrete was hired to maintain the plant’s flooring system to adhere to strict USDA regulations. This required repair of failing floors in the Extractor area which housed affixed machinery and immobile equipment.

The Extractor area of the Vitasoy plant has oversized stationary equipment that the crew needed to accommodate during renovation. As a wet space, the Black Bear team also needed to ensure that the industrial flooring was seamless and waterproof to meet the rigid health and safety standards of a food processing plant. The team worked in tight spaces, and underneath processing room equipment, to install the Poly-Crete evenly throughout the area.
