Contractor: Brasfield & Gorrie contracted Florida Business Interiors to complete the floor covering including floor remediation and preparation. They chose Specialty Solutions to develop and install the sub-floor system.
Project Size: The Orlando Veteran’s Administration Hospital is a 1.2 million square foot facility located on a 65-acre campus. The project involved 600,000 square feet (approximate) of space requiring new flooring.
Time to Complete: Phased in with completion ahead of schedule.
Scope of Project: Project goals required a floor covering system with warranty. In addition, requirement included the need for a long lasting, quality flooring system product durable enough to handle a high-use environment.
The system installer, Specialty Solutions, created the sub-flooring preparation system so that the installation of the final flooring system could move forward. The system’s design needed to mesh with the resilient floor system used by the firm.
Although there were many delays and schedule problems throughout the entire project at the Orlando VA Hospital, the Specialty Solutions sub-flooring preparation system allowed the overall floor work to complete on time. The use of the Mapei preparation system meant that there was no need for acclimation of the facility. This was a proactive approach to the project so that it could finish on time.
