Polished concrete in the training workshops of an energy supplier – a project for the enBW Innovation Campus
In 2020, Probeton was selected to carry out specialized renovation and finishing work on the floor of the newly built enBW Innovation Campus. This project presented logistical and technical challenges, requiring the restoration of the functional properties of concrete that had been damaged during the installation phase.
The Challenge: Repairing a Floor Damaged During Construction
A common problem on large construction projects is laying the floor before heavy installation work is completed. In the case of the enBW campus, intensive finishing work resulted in numerous scratches, chips, and stains on the surface of the fresh concrete. The general contractor was looking for a technology that would not only repair these defects but also give the interiors a modern, industrial character.
Solution: The NORTEC® system as a tool to support climate neutrality strategies
We proposed mechanical concrete polishing using NORTEC® technology, which aligns perfectly with enBW’s strategy to achieve climate neutrality by 2035. Why?
- Environmental sustainability: Polished concrete is a low-carbon system that does not require toxic coatings or resins.
- Durability: The mechanical hardening process has made the 1,600 m² of flooring resistant to heavy-duty use in workshop conditions.
- Aesthetics and functionality: We repaired minor damage and scratches, resulting in a smooth, easy-to-clean surface with excellent light reflection.
Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic and travel restrictions, we completed the project in the spring of 2021, delivering a flooring solution that combines engineering precision with the environmental requirements of modern industry.
