In the construction of animal laboratories, the quality of the floor plays a decisive role in the entire experimental environment. Creating a seamless and clean floor base can not only ensure the accuracy of experimental data but also safeguard the health and safety of experimental animals. With years of profound accumulation in the field of purification equipment and rich construction experience, Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. will comprehensively interpret the key points of self-leveling floor construction in animal laboratories for you.
I. Preparatory Work: Precise Layout and Meticulous Preparation
Site Assessment and Planning
Before the construction, a professional team needs to conduct a comprehensive site assessment of the animal laboratory. Different functional areas, such as the experimental operation area, animal breeding area, and equipment placement area, have different requirements for the floor. The operation area requires high wear resistance to cope with the frequent movement of instruments; the breeding area pays more attention to the anti-slip property of the floor to prevent experimental animals from slipping and getting injured. At the same time, the drainage slope should also be considered to prevent water accumulation from breeding bacteria and affecting the experimental environment. The technicians of Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. will customize the construction plan according to the specific situation of each laboratory to ensure that every detail meets the requirements.
Selection of Materials and Tools
The quality of the self-leveling material directly determines the final effect of the floor. In animal laboratories, self-leveling materials that are environmentally friendly, corrosion-resistant, and have strong antibacterial properties should be selected to prevent harmful chemicals from causing harm to experimental animals and reduce the risk of cross-contamination. In addition, equipping professional construction tools, such as toothed trowels, defoaming rollers, and levels, is the basis for ensuring the construction quality. Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. has established long-term cooperative relationships with high-quality material suppliers to ensure the stable and reliable quality of construction materials.
II. Construction Process: Strict Execution and Meticulous Operation
Base Treatment: Laying a Solid Foundation
Base treatment is a crucial link in self-leveling floor construction. First of all, dust, oil stains, sundries, etc. on the floor should be removed to ensure that the base surface is flat, dry, and firm. For uneven floors, grinding or repairing is required to ensure that the self-leveling material can be laid evenly. In animal laboratories, special attention should also be paid to the corners, floor drains, and other parts where dirt is likely to accumulate, and key treatment should be carried out to avoid leaving sanitary dead corners. The construction team of Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. has rich experience in base treatment and can operate strictly in accordance with the standards, laying a solid foundation for self-leveling floor construction.
Laying of Self-leveling Material
According to the requirements of the material instruction manual, mix the self-leveling material with an appropriate amount of water, stir it evenly, and then quickly pour it onto the floor. Use a toothed trowel to spread the material evenly, and then use a defoaming roller to eliminate air bubbles to ensure that the floor is flat. During the construction process, the thickness of the self-leveling material should be strictly controlled to ensure the flatness and bearing capacity of the floor. The construction personnel of Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. are highly skilled and can complete the laying of a large area of self-leveling floor in a short time while ensuring the construction quality.
III. Post-construction Maintenance: Careful Maintenance for Long-term Assurance
Curing and Maintenance
After the self-leveling floor is laid, curing and maintenance are required. During the curing period, personnel and vehicles should be prevented from walking on the floor to avoid damaging the flatness of the floor. At the same time, good indoor ventilation should be maintained to accelerate the drying speed of the floor. Generally, the self-leveling floor needs to be maintained for 3 to 7 days, and the specific time depends on the material characteristics and ambient temperature. Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. will provide customers with detailed maintenance guidance to ensure that the self-leveling floor achieves the best performance.
Quality Inspection and Acceptance
After the construction is completed, Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. will conduct a comprehensive quality inspection of the self-leveling floor, including indicators such as flatness, hardness, and wear resistance. Only when all indicators meet the standards will the acceptance be carried out. Through strict quality inspection and acceptance, a reassuring and reliable floor solution is provided for customers.
Self-leveling floor construction in animal laboratories is a systematic project that requires strict control of every link from preparatory work, construction process to post-construction maintenance. Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd., with its professional technology, high-quality materials, and rich experience, creates a seamless and clean floor base for your animal laboratory, contributing to the development of life science research.
