Upgrading a Busy Transport Hub
At Chester Station, Vinci Facilities required an entrance matting system capable of withstanding constant foot traffic while presenting a smart, welcoming appearance. The existing surface had reached the end of its lifespan, especially given the station’s heavy daily use. Compounding the challenge, our installation window was extremely restricted, with only brief periods available between passenger movements.
To support the station’s operational needs, COBA Flooring proposed Premier Plus, a system specifically engineered for demanding public environments. The product’s abrasive insert delivers dependable performance in high-traffic zones, helping to manage dirt and moisture at the threshold while preserving overall cleanliness within the building.
A key advantage of Premier Plus is its modular configuration. Individual tiles can be removed, serviced, or replaced without disturbing the wider installation. This capability allows the station’s facilities team to address future wear in isolated areas quickly, ensuring long-term value and reduced downtime.
Given the narrow installation timeframe, our team undertook detailed pre-planning to streamline every stage of the process. A larger-than-usual crew was deployed, allowing the work to be completed within the limited access window. Any task that could be prepared in advance was organised ahead of time to maximise efficiency once on site.
With the Premier Plus system now in place, Chester Station benefits from a more resilient and serviceable entrance matting solution. The upgraded surface supports cleanliness, enhances safety, and offers a professional appearance suited to such a busy transport interchange.
If you need assistance selecting an entrance system for your own facility, our team is available to help assess your environment and recommend the most suitable option. We’re also equipped to support installations requiring precise scheduling or accelerated turnaround times.
