Project Overview

Concrete Ideas, Inc. was hired to install a high-performance ESD epoxy flooring system in a commercial facility requiring strict electrostatic discharge control. The space was designed for sensitive equipment and operations where static electricity could not be left to chance.

The Challenge

The concrete slab presented moisture concerns and the project required strict ESD resistance compliance, copper grounding integration, coordination with electrical grounding, and third-party verification. There was zero tolerance for coating failure or rework.

Our Solution

Our team mechanically prepared the concrete surface, installed a moisture vapor barrier, applied copper grounding tape, coordinated grounding with a licensed electrician, and installed a high-build ESD epoxy coating system per manufacturer specifications.

Quality Control and Testing

Conductivity testing was completed by the manufacturer and verified by an independent third-party testing agency. Any corrective work required was completed and retested until the floor passed all ESD resistance requirements.

Results

The finished ESD epoxy flooring system delivered reliable static control, long-term durability, moisture protection, and full compliance with ESD performance standards. The system was approved for use and backed by a manufacturer material warranty.

Why This Matters

ESD flooring systems require more than epoxy application. Proper moisture control, grounding, coating thickness, and verification testing are critical to long-term performance.
