Empowering In-House Facility Maintenance Teams with Cost-Effective Surface Reinstatement Training
Case Study
The Challenge
As the seasons change, surface integrity becomes a priority for Facilities Teams managing large sites.
The Facilities Maintenance Team at Lakeside North Harbour sought versatile, easy-to-use solutions for addressing common surface issues - potholes, cracks and ironwork failures - while avoiding the expense and logistical challenges of hot works or heavy machinery.
The Solution: MAGMA Training Academy
The MAGMA Training Academy Team collaborated with Lakeside North Harbour to deliver an on-site training session, focusing on the benefits of cold-applied surface repair solutions:
Practical Hands-On Training: Team members gained direct experience with MAGMA reinstatement products such as PermaFyx L273, the versatile cold-applied permanent asphalt repair solution, and UltraLine L210, a highway grade MMA cold-applied line marking solution.
Comprehensive Repairs: Training covered potholes patch repair, curb repairs, preventative cracking solutions, drainage manhole reinstatement and cold-applied surface line marking.
Cost-Effective Techniques: Demonstrated how in-house teams can independently perform repairs with minimal resources and no need for hot works or heavy plant machinery.
The Results
Skill Development: The teamโs hands-on traning, led by MAGMA expert Giles Whiteside, upskilled them to handle various surface reinstatement solutions confidently.
Significant Cost Savings: By utilising MAGMA reinstatement solutions, Lakeside North Harbour's Facilities Maintenance Team can reduce reliance on external contractors, ensuring faster, more affordable repairs.
Seasonal Readiness: The facility is now equipped to maintain surface integrity year-round, mitigating potential hazards, minimising downtime and benefiting from huge cost savings going forward.
