Case Study: Six Months Of Heavy Equipment Traffic, Zero Floor Damage

Overview

Protecting finished concrete floors during active construction can be a major challenge, especially when heavy equipment is constantly moving across the surface. In this project, a contractor needed a durable protection solution capable of standing up to months of intense jobsite traffic while keeping newly finished concrete floors damage free.

With Armour Protection Board – Green HD, they found a solution that delivered long lasting protection, flexibility, and reliability even under demanding conditions.

The Challenge

Finished concrete floors are highly vulnerable during the later stages of construction. Even normal jobsite activity can cause scratches, stains, and surface damage that may require costly repairs before the project is complete.

On this particular jobsite, the finished concrete floor needed to withstand continuous equipment traffic while remaining protected for an extended period of time. The contractor had 13 scissor lifts moving back and forth across the surface every day, creating constant pressure and movement across the protected area. The protection also needed to remain effective for approximately six months while construction activities continued around the finished floor.

As the project progressed, the contractor also needed a solution that could be removed, cleaned, and reinstalled when necessary without losing performance.

Our Solution

To protect the concrete floor, the team installed Armour Protection Board – Green HD, a heavy duty temporary surface protection board designed to shield floors from impact, equipment traffic, and ongoing construction activity.

The board’s durable construction and fabric backing helped it stay securely in place while providing a strong protective barrier between the finished concrete surface and daily jobsite traffic. As work progressed, the protection board was lifted, cleaned, and reinstalled after floor polishing was completed, allowing the contractor to continue protecting the surface without replacing materials.

Even after being repositioned and retaped multiple times, the board continued to perform reliably.

The Results

Over the course of approximately six months, Armour Protection Board – Green HD delivered consistent protection despite heavy equipment traffic and ongoing jobsite activity.

With 13 scissor lifts driving across the protected area daily, the board absorbed repeated wear and movement while continuing to protect the finished concrete floor underneath. Even after months of use and repeated repositioning, the material maintained its durability and protective performance.

As the contractor put it:

“I can’t tell you how impressed I am with your surface protection. That green protection board with the fabric back we have put down to protect our concrete floor — we took it up, cleaned it, polished the floors, and reinstalled it. We have moved it around and retaped it. It takes a beating and still works flawlessly. I will definitely be using this product on other jobs. Not to mention, I currently have 13 scissor lifts driving back and forth over this stuff every day, and it hasn’t damaged it at all. This has been ongoing for about 6 months. This product really does stand the test of time.”

After six months of heavy use, the product continued to perform exactly as intended, proving its ability to withstand demanding jobsite conditions over long timelines.

Conclusion

Temporary surface protection needs to perform in real jobsite conditions, not just on paper. For projects with heavy equipment, long timelines, and constant activity, Armour Protection Board – Green HD provides a dependable solution that helps prevent costly damage and keeps projects moving forward.
