Flowcrete’s high-speed resin floor joins
space race
Flooring manufacturer Flowcrete’s mission statement, ‘for
the world at your feet’ has taken on new meaning with a
high-technology installation at NASA.
Almost 150,700 square feet of resin flooring from
Flowcrete have been installed at the Johnson Space Center
in Houston, TX.
The flooring work included all the exterior walkways
around the Mission Control complex.
Flowcrete’s state-of-the-art surfaces were also used in the
Saturn One Rocket Building, housing the Saturn One rocket
used to send the Apollo space craft into outer space.
Flowcrete North America, based in Conroe, TX, supervised the installation which included the creation of an
eye-catching replica of NASA’s distinctive logo on the
ground level.
Mark Greaves, managing director of Flowcrete Group,
which has its headquarters in Sandbach,Cheshire, UK said,
“This project reflects Flowcrete’s ability to deliver high performance flooring suitable for one of the most dynamic, innovative and well-known locations in the world.
“It is a hugely prestigious project for us to undertake and
one which reaches new heights in the flooring industry.”
Flowcrete used its Flowfast ‘two-hour flooring concept’ at
NASA.
This rapid curing methyl methacrylate (MMA) system
uses the latest resin technology to deliver a finished surface
ready for use just two hours after application.
The system has been a major success in the UK, where the
concept was created by Flowcrete’s research and development team. Since then Flowfast has been exported across
the globe, to the Middle and Far East, as well as America and
more recently to Africa. CW
