Flooring sorted at space facility
When the current floor system at the Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC) RAL Space facility required refurbishment, flooring specialist Floor-Safe called upon Dr. Schutz to supply its ESD Floor Coating System.
As an approved Dr. Schutz contractor, Floor-Safe was confident that the product would offer protection against electrostatic discharge, providing an aesthetically pleasing end result and would be completed within two days, therefore fully meeting the client’s requirements.
RAL Space carries out world-class space research and technology development. In environments where there is a large volume of electronic components, such as RAL Space, it is vital to have electrostatic dispersion (ESD) flooring to protect the technology against the harmful effects of static electricity.
Dr. Schutz ESD Top Coat was applied to over 1000 sq.m on top of the existing conductive resin. Without interfering with the facility’s operation, Floor-Safe was able to keep down-time to a minimum and carry out the work over just two days.
Glenn MacLaughlan, MD of Floor-Safe said: “The client was pleased that the whole ESD floor didn’t need replacing to help restore the ESD conductivity, saving both time and a great deal of money."
