If you manage an operating factory or warehouse in Trung An ward, Dong Thap province, and the concrete floor has started to deteriorate, the practical question is not what epoxy is. It is: who can supply and recoat the floor, which system suits each area, how can the work be done without shutting down the whole production line, and what should you prepare to get a realistic quote. This article answers those four questions for one ward, starting with a boundary that must be stated plainly.
Trung An ward in its new form was established under Resolution 1663/NQ-UBTVQH15, combining the whole of Ward 10 of the former My Tho city, Phuoc Thanh commune and the former Trung An commune; the new Dong Thap province results from the merger of the former Tien Giang province and the former Dong Thap province under Resolution 202/2025/QH15, with the new commune-level authorities operating from 1 July 2025. My Tho Industrial Park lies partly in Trung An ward and partly in the neighbouring Kim Son commune — the whole park is not inside Trung An ward, and the park is not in My Tho ward, which is a different ward. Everything below about the industrial park should be read within that boundary.
Why demand here is mainly recoating, not greenfield work
My Tho Industrial Park covers 79.14 hectares, was established in 1997, and was the first industrial park of the former Tien Giang province. Its leasable land is 100% leased. The direct consequence is that flooring demand here is not about choosing a floor for a new plant drawn from scratch. It is about recoating areas inside plants that are already running: forklift lanes worn along repeated routes, cracked joints, patches that have peeled, and moisture that has seeped in over many rainy seasons. The park has foreign-invested projects, and this article is also presented in Vietnamese and Chinese within the same article group, so that operations managers working in those languages can read the same content.
On location, My Tho Industrial Park sits on the Tien River, about 3 km from the former My Tho city centre and about 4 km from National Highway 1A. Those approximate distances describe the park, not the whole of Trung An ward. The industries and common floor types of the park are already covered in detail in Epoxy Flooring for My Tho Industrial Park (former Tien Giang, now Dong Thap): Common Industries and Floor Types; this article does not repeat that catalogue. It covers what that article does not: phased recoating and the process of getting a quote.
How to judge a supplier for an operating plant
For a plant that cannot stop, the right supplier question is different from the greenfield question. Instead of asking only which coating to buy, ask how the supplier will survey the floor, how the work will be sequenced zone by zone, and how each zone will be handed back. A credible proposal should name the survey steps — grinding, crack repair and moisture measurement — before naming a coating, and it should state the order in which zones will be done and how forklift traffic will be rerouted while one zone is closed. It should also define acceptance zone by zone, rather than a single handover for the whole plant at the end of the job. If a proposal prices the whole floor as one undifferentiated area, without separating wet areas, dry areas, warehouses and forklift lanes, it is unlikely to match the real scope of work.
Choosing a system by area of use, not one system for the whole plant
Covering a whole plant with a single system is a common and costly mistake. Each area makes a different demand on the floor, and the system should follow the area. The thickness figures below are a general framework, not measurements taken in Trung An ward.
Wet areas in seafood processing, agricultural processing and animal feed production need a seamless floor that is easy to clean and resistant to cleaning chemicals, because water and cleaning solutions contact the floor every day. For this level of hygiene, a self-levelling system (general framework thickness 1–3 mm) is usually considered before a roller system.
Dry areas such as garment production prioritise dust control, appearance and easy cleaning, while loads remain moderate. A three-coat roller system (general framework thickness about 0.3 mm, moderate load) can suit such areas at a lower preparation cost, provided the concrete underneath is still sound.
Warehouses and forklift lanes, including cold storage and preservation logistics areas, put load-bearing capacity and abrasion resistance first, and also need clearly marked traffic lanes. Here the decisive step is often not the coating itself but the preparation before it: grinding for adhesion, crack repair and moisture measurement determine whether a new coating will hold under forklift wheels.
Areas exposed to oil and grease, such as areas linked to shipbuilding and inland waterway vessel repair, need a careful survey for oil contamination in the concrete, because oil soaked into the slab is a common cause of early peeling. In such cases the survey result shapes the system choice more than any catalogue does.
Phased recoating while the plant keeps running
The workable method for an operating plant is to divide the floor into zones and work through them one at a time: survey and prepare one zone, apply the coating and wait until it is ready to return to service, then move to the next zone. While one zone is closed, the remaining zones keep operating, and forklift traffic is temporarily rerouted along marked lanes.
Before work starts, the survey should answer three questions: how worn, cracked and damp is the existing floor; what loads and chemicals does the area face in daily operation; and in which time window can the area be closed with the least effect on production. Floor preparation — grinding, crack repair and moisture measurement — often takes most of the preparation time, but it is the step that decides how long the new coating will last. After application, each zone should be accepted separately before it is handed back for use, rather than accepting the whole plant in one handover at the end, and the maintenance plan should record how the floor is cleaned, how often joints are inspected, and where local repairs should be made when small damage appears.
The general supply process: from enquiry to acceptance
The process below is a general supply framework covering advice, supply and installation of factory and warehouse flooring. It applies generally across localities, and this article does not attach it to any specific Kadier location.
The steps are: enquiry and description of the requirement; survey of the existing floor; advice on a system for each area of use; a quote prepared on the basis of the survey; phased installation in the agreed zone order; acceptance zone by zone and maintenance guidance. A quote is prepared after the survey, because the area, the condition of the floor and the requirements of each plant differ; this article does not publish a fixed price list.
What to prepare to get a realistic quote
A realistic quote depends heavily on the information the buyer prepares in advance. When making an enquiry, prepare:
- The area of each zone separately — wet areas, dry areas, warehouses and forklift lanes — rather than only the total area of the plant.
- Photos and a description of the existing floor: wear along forklift routes, joint cracks, peeled patches, signs of moisture or oil contamination, and the age of the floor if known.
- The industry of use and any special requirements: hygiene, resistance to cleaning chemicals, forklift loads, dust control or appearance.
- The time windows in which each zone can be closed: which production shifts are least affected, and which zones cannot be closed at the same time.
- The current cleaning regime: how often the floor is washed, which chemicals are used, and which areas regularly hold standing water.
With this information, a supplier can recommend a system per zone, propose a phased work sequence, and price the actual scope of work, instead of quoting a generic whole-plant figure that has to be revised after the survey.
Regional context around Trung An ward
Trung An ward does not stand alone in the industrial picture of the region. At cluster level, see Epoxy Flooring for the Tien Giang and Vinh Long Industrial Clusters, and at provincial level, Epoxy Flooring for the Dong Thap Industrial Cluster. Those articles place the recoating demand of one ward in a wider context, while this article keeps its focus on the buying question in the ward itself: choosing a system per zone, working in phases, and preparing a quote enquiry.
Contact for a quote
To receive a quote after a survey, contact Hotline/Zalo 0899355489 or WeChat wxid_95o54joujyrr12. When contacting, include the information listed above — the area of each zone, photos of the existing floor, the requirements of use, and the time windows in which each zone can be closed — so that the quote is prepared for the actual scope of work to be recoated.
