The Rolls Royce of floors
also is the Floor of Rolls Royce!
When Rolls Royce Marine needed to renovated their facilities, they called upon Dencoat.
The Project
In one of the most scenic parts of the norwegian landscape, Rolls Royce Marine produces Heavy Duty Equipment for the oil and marine industry.
Like the famous cars of same name, proud craftsmanship combined with the latest technology is put into the production of special submarines and gigantic ship propellas.The requirements from the production explains why this is not your average production floor. Due to the extremely heavy loads passed to the floor, the engineers had to design a very special floor build up. Special heavy load steel bars was installed every 1 meter through the production area to absorb the weight ot the special submarines produced here, each exessing a weight of more than 20 tons per unit, covering only a space of 4 sqm. Naturally a tough challenge for any floor construction, so Dencoat therefore decided together with the engineering office at site to install Dencryl Industry in between the steel bars so the massive load still is supported. Because of the high flexability and durabillity of the Dencryl Industry system, no cracking or spalling occurs between the steel bars and the Dencryl Industry system during production. Aftermarked Workshop Manager Geir Sunddal explains:" Our customers require 24 hour service from our side. When a bulk carrier or a passenger ship looses or damage its propella, time is money. We must be able to respond immidiately, and hence to this we need production facilities that can live up to this. The floor is an essential part of our capability to produce and therefore we can only accept the absolute best the marked can offer. We have now installed more than 3.000 m2 of Dencryl Industry, and so far we have been absolutely satisfied with the quality of the system.We have had some minor repairworks made, and thank to the very fast curing of the Dencryl system, this has no influence on our production schedule".
