Durability lined up

The new £90m Morrisons Regional Distribution Centre in Bridgwater, Somerset, has an overall floor area of 760,000ft2 comprising ambient, chilled and frozen warehouses.

To ensure the safety of the 1000 staff employed at the site, over 6000m of safety walkway lines and 500 pedestrian symbols were required.

With heavy pedestrian, forklift and trailer traffic, the long term durability of the lines and symbols was paramount.

After rigorous testing, it was decided that RapidShield from Quaker Chemical offered the best solution for the job.

Certified RapidShield contractor, Quality Marking Services, used the latest preparation equipment to clean and prepare the areas for the markings. Special floor masks were used for the line markings and symbols and RapidShield was successfully installed and cured instantly by UV light after application.
