Chemical Facility Flooring Systems
Acids, caustics, solvents, and the containment regulations that come with them. Maverick builds chemically resistant floors and secondary containment that hold what the process side spills — indoors and out.
Where Chemistry Meets Concrete
Chemical exposure is not one condition — concentration, temperature, and dwell time decide the system. We match resin chemistry to your exposure schedule, zone by zone.
Chemical facility flooring pairs chemically resistant resin floors with secondary containment: ¼″ troweled mortar for process areas, lined containment areas, sumps, and berms engineered for the stored chemistry, and exterior-rated builds for tank farms. Detailing concentrates at the corners and terminations — the places where containment fails.
Secondary Containment
Troweled mortar and membrane systems lining containment areas, sumps, and berms — engineered for the stored chemistry and inspection regime.
Process Floors
¼″ troweled mortar systems standing up to spills, washdown, and mechanical abuse between turnarounds.
Pump Pads & Equipment Bases
Rebuilt, sloped, and coated — including positive-side waterproofing where pads sit over occupied or sensitive space.
Trenches & Sumps
Lined and detailed to drain — the corners and terminations are where containment fails, so that is where our detailing starts.
Tank Farms
Exterior-rated builds tolerating thermal cycling, UV, and the forklift traffic that services the tanks.
Loading & Transfer Areas
Impact- and abrasion-resistant surfaces where drums, totes, and trucks move all shift.

Starting points, not prescriptions. Every Maverick system is engineered to the condition of the substrate, the abuse it takes, and the facility’s history with previous floors — the build changes from room to room and plant to plant. Only new construction over bare concrete comes close to a standard build.
