Structural Preservation Systems Launches New Steel Reinforced Floor System.

BALTIMORE -- Structural Preservation Systems (SPS) - a $210 million Baltimore-based specialty-contracting firm that delivers services, systems and technologies that build, repair, protect, strengthen and reinforce concrete, steel, masonry, timber and soils - has announced the launch of a new steel reinforced floor system known as Tstrata Floor Strengthening.

An engineered solution, the Tstrata floor strengthening systems increase the tensile strength of concrete surfaces without increasing thickness more than one-fourth of an inch. Featuring Hardwire(R) Steel Reinforcement, the Tstrata systems strengthen the existing floor, which minimizes operational disruption associated with conventional concrete repairs.

"Tstrata offers many unique benefits to a variety of different markets," said John Friedel, Marketing Manager at Structural Preservation Systems. "With a non-intrusive application process and no Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP) or Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), Tstrata can be installed without major or costly disruptions to daily operations, which is extremely important to many end-users."

Providing a reinforcing repair and a beautiful finish that is chemical resistant, seamless, slip resistant and easy to clean, the tensile reinforcement and optional static dissipative features of Tstrata are optimal for industrial warehousing and manufacturing facilities that utilize fork trucks and Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) material handling equipment. The Tstrata systems have been successfully installed in a large national retail chain stores, distribution and warehousing facilities, schools, chemical processing plants, food and beverage processing facilities, hospitals, automotive facilities, pharmaceutical plants and newspaper printing companies.

Four unique applications are available:

--Tstrata TR (Tensile Reinforced Flooring System) is a polymer resin flooring system that incorporates Hardwire High Strength Steel Reinforcement and a high-wear, UV stable, clearcoat finish.

--Tstrata SD (Static Dissipative Flooring System) is a static dissipative polymer resin floor system that incorporates Hardwire High Strength Steel Reinforcement and a high-wear, UV stable, clearcoat finish. Tstrata SD provides a durable, static dissipative surface that is ideal for clean rooms, micro-chip assembly areas, as well as warehouse and manufacturing operations utilizing AGVs.

--Tstrata H (High Build Flooring System) is a high-build polymer resin flooring system.

--Tstrata S (Coated Flooring System) is a polymer resin flooring system.

Tstrata TR, Tstrata H and Tstrata S are available in a variety of colors and all systems can be designed to feature multi-color flecks to add visual interest to the floor. Further, all systems are seamless, durable and chemical resistant.
