John Lord has been involved in two resin floor projects for the Royal Air Force, one at RAF Alconbury and the other at RAF Coningsby.

The first was an exciting project with the MOD to create a new state of the art Typhoon Maintenance Facility at RAF Coningsby, Lincolnshire.

The project, costing a total of £18m, was the result of seven years planning, with the proposed site stretching 36 metres along the tarmac. The ten bay Maintenance Facility, which now houses the Eurofighter Typhoon, covers 10,700 square metres and needs 207 people to operate it at full capacity.

The resin flooring requirements within this facility included the installation of a heavy-duty and long lasting floor finish that would provide a safe working surface in wet and dry conditions. John Lord installed Uragard HT110W polyurethane resin throughout the hangar to fulfil these requirements. A bespoke military blue/grey colour was formulated by John Lord for the hangar floor. John Lord also installed Aspen Stainless bespoke inspection hatches and service ducts.

The second project at RAF Alconbury was a complete refurbishment of the onsite Commissary to revive its dated appearance.
