NYCSCA - Percy Sutton Educational Complex
The Challenge
The NYC School Construction Authority’s Percy Sutton Educational Complex on Edgecombe Ave. in NYC had a recurring problem with the asbestos tile in their cafeteria. Routinely tiles would become dislodged, curl on their ends, and in some cases chip leaving pieces of tile to be cleaned up in the cafeteria. The NYCSCA wanted to eliminate this hazard and find a permanent way of either getting rid of the tile or encasing it once and for all.

The Solution
The ECI Seamless Floor Encasement System option was chosen because of its unique combination of products. A flexible 100% solids primer coat followed by two water clear 100% solids epoxy grout coats with colored flake which is broadcast into each of the two layers. This is then followed, by two additional clear coats and then the entire system is finished off with our ECI-Aliphatic Urethane Top Coat. This provided the NYCSCA with everything they wanted in a floor system without the additional expense of the cost of removal, replacement, and dumpsite storage of the asbestos waste.
