Concrete Moisture Mitigation Vapor Systems for Hospitals

Scope of Project: Froedert Medical started as a 5-story project with an additional 3 stories to handle growth over the next few years.

New concrete slabs, though hard within 24 hours, still maintain moisture that can take 2 years to work out. To prevent flooring failure and keep project moving at a fast track, PSI Inc. shot blasts and diamond grinds the floor. The process is then followed by capping the moisture vapor with 100% solids Mapei epoxy along with the installation of self-leveling cement underlayment.
