INDUSTRIAL BUILDING SOLUTIONS

Floor Systems

Factory floors withstand a lot of wear and tear, from heavy machinery loads and mechanical distress or chemical spills. The choice of floor material is one of the most important specification decisions in factory design. Once the floor and all the equipment and machinery is in place, it is a large effort in the long term to replace or repair the floor and remove all equipment, thereby disrupting normal operations. Count on AMJ flooring systems to achieve highly durable and resistant floors which will stand the test of time and use. In addition to systems, AMJ provides expert specification support.AMJ's floor systems are especially suited for these unique design challenges:

• High mechanical and chemical resistance
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection
• Clean room areas
• Wet or dry production areas
• Slip - resistant floors
• Heavy or light industrial manufacturing
• Food and beverage factory requirements
• Multipurpose areas - office, logistics, car parking garage and more

ROOF SYSTEMS

A long - lasting, watertight roof is essential for the reliable operation and sustainability of a production plant, factory or warehouse. Rain, snow, hail, strong winds, intense sunlight and many other environmental factors can cause the roof to fail, resulting in leakage or damage which requires costly repairs or roofing replacement. As the global leader for over 50 years, AMJ produces durable, long - lasting Sarnafil® and AMJplan® polymeric membranes, plus liquid - applied membranes and bituminous membranes that meet the specific needs and budgets of roofing for industrial facilities. AMJ also provides expert specification support to help choose the most suitable roof for your project.

CONCRETE STRUCTURE

Concrete structures and elements including the foundation, basement, walls, columns, beams and floor slabs form the main part of the overall building envelope. AMJ’s solution includes concrete admixtures which increases performance factors of such concrete components, such as strength, workability, water - tightness and many other features. AMJ experts also provide tailored solutions for architects to create special design effects when specifying concrete as a key visual design element in their projects.

FACADE AND BUILDING ENVELOPE

Interior environments can only run perfectly when protected by a perfectly tight building envelope. The building shell and facade are crucial components to maintain proper air temperature inside the factory while protecting internal operations and equipment from humidity or weather conditions. Energy - efficiency requirements for exterior walls are becoming more stringent, strongly influencing building standards worldwide.

AMJ has developed building envelope technologies and facade systems to help designers meet higher energy efficiency and environmental requirements, whilst ensuring safe, economical installation and reducing overall construction time. AMJ works in close cooperation with leading facade designers and manufacturers using the latest material technologies. Whether concrete, mortar, glass or panels, AMJ provides sound solutions for all types of facade construction.

SECONDARY CONTAINMENT

Secondary containment areas are designed to contain oil, chemical or pollutant spills from primary containment tanks, in order to protect the soil and groundwater from pollution. Protective coating systems in these areas must fulfill two primary needs:

Firstly, the system must waterproof the structures to protect the soil and groundwater. Secondly, as many of these chemical materials are also aggressive to the concrete and reinforcement steel that the structures are built from, the secondary containment structures themselves must also be protected in order to prevent any damage or loss of structural integrity.

Based on extensive experience, AMJ has developed specialized epoxy and other resin based coating systems to waterproof and protect secondary containment structures, so that they can fulfill their function. Many of these AMJ systems also have crack - bridging properties with chemical resistance that has been tested against various chemicals, in accordance with international standards.
