Some projects demand precision. For this job, we installed high-performance epoxy flooring inside an active mechanical pumphouse at the Northern Ontario School of Medicine (NOSM). It required flawless coordination, because facility operations couldn’t stop.
Working Without Disruption
From start to finish, this was a live environment. That meant no shutdowns, no delays, and no mistakes. We used a staged access approach to complete surface preparation, epoxy application, and finishing—while ensuring safe passage for building personnel.
To reduce risk, we scheduled work in phases. This allowed us to isolate sections of the space, complete them efficiently, and reopen access in a controlled, predictable way. With every stage, we updated NOSM’s team in real time, giving them full visibility into our progress and timing.
Scope Overview:
- Custom epoxy system selected for durability and chemical resistance
- Surface preparation, moisture testing, and final topcoat application
- Live site access maintained throughout all stages
- No disruption to daily operations or mechanical systems
What We Learned
In active institutions, communication drives success. To avoid any disruption, we issued real-time updates, coordinated entry points, and worked closely with on-site staff. This approach not only streamlined the job, it built trust.
Now, for every sensitive environment we step into, we take the same proactive communication approach. It’s a practice we’ve proven, and it pays off.
Epoxy Flooring: Durability Without Delay
Our team delivered a long-lasting epoxy floor that will serve the NOSM facility for years. Just as importantly, we did it without interrupting a single operation. For institutional clients, that’s the difference a trusted contractor makes.
