In 1975 The original Acme Flooring company installed the MK1 ACME Panels on the exposed oak plank bridge deck.
Those Panels where then replaced in 1995 with Mk2 ACME Panels to provide a further 20-years of service on this high traffic bridge.
In 2015 the panels where due to be replaced again, however, on this occasion ACME Panels where not selected as the replacement.
Unfortunately, the replacement panels did not perform very well and in 2018 Midland Industrial Flooring where approached to replace the surface with the original specification.
The replacement Mk5 MIF Composite Panels were manufactured, supplied and installed in February 2019.
They comprise of a 24mm load-bearing engineering plywood core fully encapsulated with three coats of modified epoxy resin on the edges and back of the panels. The wearing surface is MIF Grip NT waterproof and wearing course with a road surface 3-5mm aggregate to provide another 20-year long service life under the increase traffic load and volume.
