Upgrading a Bus Depot Floor in Manchester
At Industrial Safety Products Limited (ISP Ltd), we regularly work with transport and industrial clients who need their facilities to meet strict safety and operational requirements — without disrupting day-to-day operations.
Recently, our team completed an out-of-hours floor upgrade at a bus depot in Manchester, focused on improving safety and compliance within a brake testing area.
The Challenge
Brake testing zones in bus depots are exposed to heavy vehicle traffic, oil contamination, moisture, and repeated braking forces. Over time, this can lead to worn surfaces, reduced slip resistance, and unclear demarcation — all of which increase the risk of accidents and non-compliance.
The client required:
- A high-grip, anti-slip floor surface
- Clear yellow and black chevron safety markings
- A solution completed outside operational hours
- A durable finish capable of withstanding constant bus movements
Our Solution
ISP Ltd specified and installed a high-performance epoxy resin floor system, designed specifically for industrial and transport environments.
Key elements of the installation included:
- Anti-slip epoxy resin floor paint to improve grip and reduce slip risk, even in wet or contaminated conditions
- Bold yellow and black chevron markings to clearly identify the brake testing area and improve visual safety
- Out-of-hours installation, minimising disruption and eliminating vehicle downtime
- A durable, easy-to-maintain finish capable of handling heavy loads and frequent braking
All preparation, coating, and line marking works were carefully planned to ensure the floor was fully cured and ready for use before the depot reopened.
The Result
The completed brake testing area now:
- Meets modern health and safety expectations
- Provides clear visual guidance for drivers and maintenance staff
- Reduces the risk of slips and incidents
- Offers a long-lasting surface designed for demanding transport environments
Most importantly, the work was delivered on schedule and without interrupting depot operations.
