Project Description
Costco Wholesale Corporation is a well-known American multi-national company. As of 2020, Costco was the third largest retailer in the world, with 839 stores worldwide. Costco has opened its first 14,000m2 store in West Auckland, New Zealand in August 2022. The retailer specialises in discounted high-quality merchandise, food, technology, tyres and more.
Project Requirements
The client required a locally provided flooring system that would be consistent with the performance and look of other Costco stores. It also had to be suitable for the environment.
- Bakery and kitchen areas required a non-slip, hygienic, food grade, easy to clean finish.
- A decorative flake flooring system that was hygienic, easy to clean and non-slip was installed in the public toilet facilities.
- Safety Yellow line markings with a non-slip finish were required for pedestrian crossing/line markings around the building.
The installation time for the Sikafloor coating system was limited as the facility is an essential service for food manufacturing and could not close for a long period of time.
Challenges
Sikafloor® PurCem Accelerator was used to assist in fast curing for the floor area where the rotisserie chickens are baked.
Sika Solution
Sikafloor PurCem® products were used in the food manufacturing facility due to their moisture tolerant, fast curing and non-tainting (no odour) properties. All Sika flooring systems used have Cleanroom certification.
