Factory construction and repair encompasses important decisions and logistics to ensure uninterrupted facility operation. Sika supplies materials, systems, and technical expertise for every aspect of factory construction or repair projects for any size and complexity. The solutions provided by Sika are used to contribute to the performance of factories and potentially reduce construction and operating costs.
Factory Repair
Sika has a range of solutions for manufacturing facility and warehouse refurbishment project needs, including:
Floor Systems
Factory floors withstand a lot of wear and tear making choosing floor systems critically important. Sika flooring systems achieve highly durable and resistant floors along with expert specification support. Sika's floor systems are especially suited for these unique design challenges:
Roof Systems
A long-lasting, watertight roof is essential for reliable operation. Environmental stresses can cause damage and lead to leakage needing replacement. Sika produces durable, long-lasting Sarnafil® and Sikaplan® polymeric membranes, plus liquid-applied membranes and bituminous membranes that meet the specific needs and budgets of roofing for industrial facilities. Sika also provides specific support for selecting suitable roofing.
Concrete Structure
Concrete elements including the foundation, basement, walls, columns, beams, and floor slabs often make up most of the building envelope. Sika’s solutions include concrete admixtures that increase the performance factors of concrete components, such as strength, workability, water-tightness, and many other features.
Below-Grade Structure
Designing, detailing, and selecting materials for foundation and below-ground structures is one of the most important steps of industrial construction. Ground-bearing areas need to be waterproofed and use a properly designed concrete mix. The most appropriate waterproofing concept and system is dependent on many project-specific factors, so a specialist in waterproofing needs to be brought in at the early stages of design. Sika has over 100 years of experience in providing such solutions - from design and detailing advice to material selection.
Facade and Building Envelope
Interior environments only function if protected by a perfectly tight building envelope. The building shell and facade are required to maintain proper air temperature inside a factory or warehouse while protecting internal operations and equipment from humidity and weather conditions. Energy-efficiency requirements for exterior walls are ever more stringent.
Sika building envelope technologies and facade systems help meet higher energy efficiency and environmental requirements, and provide safe, economical installation, and reducing overall construction time for all types of facade construction.
Structure Protection and Strengthening
The internal structure of a warehouse or factory building is expected to withstand heavy loads, moisture, chemicals, and fires. It is a key investment consideration to protect this part of the building to preserve factory operations. The steel structure needs to be protected against corrosion caused by environmental exposures, while also complying with stringent building regulations for fire protection.
Sika provides durable, reliable corrosion and fire protection coatings on steel structures that comply with the latest national and international standards including ISO EN 12944 for steel corrosion protection and ISO EN 13381-8 for fire protection. Sika also provides an array of passive firestop systems for joints and penetrations and structural strengthening systems.
Secondary Containment
Secondary containment areas are designed to hold oil, chemical, or pollutant spills from primary containment tanks, to protect the soil and groundwater from pollution. Protective coating systems in these areas must fulfill two primary needs:
Sika has developed specialized epoxy and other resin-based coating systems to waterproof and protect secondary containment structures. Many of these Sika systems also have crack-bridging properties with chemical resistance that has been tested against various chemicals, per international standards.
