Inspection and FOD
The floor should support visibility of debris, staining, joint movement and local damage—and work with the site cleaning regime.

Aircraft hangars · MRO · FOD control · maintenance windows
The aircraft may leave the bay. The floor remains part of the inspection.
Aircraft jacks, tugs, tool carts, hydraulic fluids and strict FOD control place different demands on one slab. Define bay operations, exposures and access first—then select the coating route.
01 · Start with hangar operations
This page helps facilities, MRO, engineering and procurement teams frame the operating brief first. It does not replace operator standards, structural engineering, chemical-compatibility review or an on-site substrate assessment.
The floor should support visibility of debris, staining, joint movement and local damage—and work with the site cleaning regime.
Aircraft jacks, docking and tooling create local loads. Record contact area, load, dwell time and slab condition before specifying.
Hydraulic fluids, fuels, lubricants, cleaners and other maintenance liquids must be reviewed by substance, concentration, temperature and contact time.
Preparation, repairs, every coat, inspection, cure and reopening must fit the real aircraft-bay schedule.
02 · Build the hangar risk map
Zoning lets consultants and operations teams discuss real loads, contamination, cleaning and access before product names enter the conversation.
Jack and tyre positions, fluid drips, tooling, inspection lighting, FOD control and cleaning frequency.
Rolling traffic, turning, braking, joint impact, thresholds and concentrated wear lanes.
Benches, carts, component handling, chemicals, dropped-object impact and tighter cleanliness expectations.
Indoor–outdoor transitions, rain ingress, drainage, UV, falls and interfaces between different floor zones.

03 · Verify before specifying
A hangar floor succeeds as a system, not a finish. Slab strength, moisture, old contamination, cracks and joints, local loads, and the operator’s cleaning and inspection regime all shape the route.
Provide jack, tyre, tooling and GSE loads, contact areas, travel paths and dwell times.
List maintenance liquids, concentration, temperature, contact time and removal method before reviewing resistance.
Assess moisture, pull-off strength, contamination, cracks, spalls, old coatings and moving joints before preparation.
Review colour, gloss, lighting, cleaning and slip needs under actual operating conditions—not only from a colour card.
04 · Enter the right specialist path
This industry page defines operating requirements. The routes below handle coating build-up, self-levelling selection, substrate application and failure investigation without duplicating the same search intent.
Compare roller, broadcast and self-levelling epoxy routes against traffic, finish and installation conditions.
Open the epoxy flooring guide↗Review self-smoothing build-ups and constraints where a seamless, level and cleanable surface is required.
Open the self-levelling guide↗Go deeper into concrete assessment, repairs, priming, installation and phased operational access.
Open the application guide↗If the floor blisters, peels, cracks, wears or fails at joints, identify the mechanism before recoating.
Open the failure guide↗05 · Published technical evidence
The published TDS gives application, consumption, mixing, curing and limitation data. It supports preliminary selection; it does not replace site assessment, structural advice or compatibility confirmation for a specific maintenance liquid.

Record zone use, slab and old-coating condition, moisture, joints, point loads, GSE routes, fluid exposure, cleaning, FOD expectations and the available maintenance window.
Not automatically. Maintenance bays, tug routes, workshops and door boundaries can have different loads, contamination, UV and wet-slip exposure, so each zone should be reviewed.
No aerospace certification claim is made on this page. Selection should follow the published TDS, site assessment, project specification, operator requirements and any necessary engineering or compatibility review.
Provide load, contact area, dwell time, movement and slab data for structural and system review. A coating compressive-strength figure alone is not enough to make that decision.
No. Build a schedule of the actual substance, concentration, temperature, contact time and removal method, then confirm the proposed system against it.
Phasing can be planned, but isolation, access, ventilation, dust control, every coat, cure, inspection and reopening must fit an approved bay programme.
This page centres on aircraft bays, FOD, jack loads, GSE and MRO maintenance windows. The factory page centres on production lines, forklifts, equipment zones and general industrial operations.
