As Kenya’s industrial sector continues to expand, flooring solutions that combine strength, safety, and hygiene have become a top priority for factory and warehouse owners. Recently, D-Squared Construction completed a successful epoxy floor installation at a brewery in Mau Narok, Nakuru County — a project that highlighted the transformative impact of industrial-grade epoxy flooring in demanding work environments.
If you run a factory, processing plant, warehouse, or workshop, this case study will help you understand why epoxy flooring is the ideal solution for your facility.
Project Overview: Brewery Epoxy Floor Installation in Mau Narok
The client, a local brewery in Mau Narok, approached us in search of a durable, easy-to-clean, and chemical-resistant flooring solution for their production area. Their existing cement floor was beginning to crack, absorb stains, and wear down from constant moisture, machine movement, and chemical exposure.
After a detailed site assessment, D-Squared Construction recommended a heavy-duty epoxy floor system designed to meet the brewery’s unique operational needs.
Why Epoxy Flooring Was the Right Choice for the Brewery
Industrial environments like breweries require flooring that can withstand:
- Spillage from liquids and cleaning agents
- Heavy foot traffic and movement of trolleys or equipment
- Exposure to chemicals and sanitizers
- Strict hygiene standards set by regulatory bodies
Epoxy was the perfect fit because it provides a seamless, non-porous surface that is:
- Resistant to chemicals and corrosion
- Waterproof and easy to disinfect
- Anti-slip even when wet
- Able to withstand thermal shock and abrasion
- Visually appealing and reflective, improving lighting
Step-by-Step Installation Process of Epoxy
D-Squared Construction followed a meticulous epoxy installation process to ensure the brewery received a floor that could handle its day-to-day demands:
1. Surface Preparation
We began by grinding the concrete surface to remove dirt, oil stains, and existing weak layers. Surface profiling is critical to ensure the epoxy adheres properly.
2. Crack Repair and Patching
All surface cracks and uneven areas were filled and leveled using epoxy mortar, ensuring a smooth substrate.
3. Primer Application
An epoxy primer was applied to promote maximum bonding between the concrete and the topcoat layers.
4. Epoxy Base Coat Application
A thick layer of industrial-grade epoxy resin was poured and evenly spread using rollers and trowels. This created the seamless, chemical-resistant foundation the brewery required.
5. Non-Slip Finish (Optional)
For wet processing zones, we added fine anti-slip quartz aggregates to increase worker safety without affecting the finish.
6. Curing and Quality Check
The floor was left to cure for 48 hours before being inspected and handed over to the client.
Results and Feedback
The client was impressed by the smooth, durable, and bright finish, which not only improved safety but also elevated the overall cleanliness and professionalism of the space.
Since installation, the brewery has:
- Reduced cleaning time by over 50%
- Eliminated floor-related maintenance and downtime
- Experienced fewer slips and falls in wet zones
- Met hygiene and operational standards with ease
This project stands as a testament to the value of quality epoxy installation in Kenya’s growing industrial sector.
