While Tom Keller of Brazos Urethane may be known as “Tom the Roofer” after his work on the Superdome post-Hurricane Katrina, his work in the coatings industry can’t be contained by the Big Easy. His work has spanned from San Francisco to Miami, and he’s currently focusing on branded roofs of national sports arenas. However, his beginning had much more humble roots.

It was going to take quite a bit of prep work — and a great coating system — to get the floors back to the way they looked at the turn of the 19th century.

Various experts including metallurgists, corrosion engineers, fatigue analysts, and welding examiners were able to somewhat agree that the cause of the structural failure was improper weld repair in various areas

Appropriate secondary containment has long been a legal requirement in many countries, particularly around tanks, storage vessels, and other plant equipment containing hazardous liquids.

As a part of the transformation of an abandoned public school building into an affordable haven for aspiring artists in the heart of New York City, Imperial Flooring Systems was tasked with installing an epoxy terrazzo flooring system in the entrance and main corridors of the 116-year-old facility.

Nonslip coatings are used throughout the construction industry for various safety-related reasons.

And Cornerstone had two weeks to do it before the town’s annual tour of local houses, called Old Home Day. Could they make the short journey a successful one?

While rehabilitating World War II-era Army barracks in rural California might sound like the opening of a haunting work of fiction, Joe “J.P.” Rodriguez had the very real challenge of transforming 200,000 square feet of gutted structures at Camp Roberts into fully functional living quarters for incoming troops in just 180 days

You name it, they’ve seen it: overspray removal companies can relate horror stories that would make any coatings contractor shudder. You may even have one or two of your own. Unfortunately, overspray happens, even when you take the best precautions and think you’ve crossed every “t” and dotted every “i” in “containment.”

Control joints are used to accommodate concrete shrinkage during the curing and aging process in an attempt to “control” where a crack will locate. However, they can potentially create issues relative to surface integrity, sanitation, or aesthetics. Traditionally, these joints have been filled with a semi-flexible epoxy to support traffic, to maintain a monolithic surface, and to move with the contraction and expansion of the concrete. But are there other options?
