The purpose of this building is to study the effects of altitude on the soldiers. Shots of the Rocky Mountains GFX: Mike Steinwert Sales Manager, Omnitech Mike [00:00:26] Here in the Rocky Mountain region, we deal with altitude. We deal with very dry conditions. Excavator and mountain images Kellen [00:00:33] Ever changing weather and just getting the material up here can be a challenge. Shot of the Pikes Peak Sign GFX: Solutions for moisture vapor continuity challenges Mike [00:00:38] Being that it is at 14000 feet, it's a project where we're concerned with moisture vapor continuity and the warranty issues of this floor. So we elected to install a urethane floor system, the Fastop, to cover all of these issues. Shots of workers applying the Fastop GFX: Rick Martinez Tech Svc Rep, Sherwin-Williams Rick [00:00:54] Fastop multi systems bring value because of one, the fast turnaround with the Fastop multi-urethane cement and then two, ease of application for our applicators and then three, end results for the owners. Fastop being spread Mike [00:01:11] We know time and time again that that floor is going to go down at a consistent coverage rate. This floor was designed to last anywhere from 12 to 15 years. Rick [00:01:20] Because it is a urethane cement, it's going to have the durability and longevity of basically the lifetime or lifecycle of this facility. GFX: Pre-construction tech and rep support from Sherwin-Williams Mike [00:01:31] Having Sherwin-Williams reps and technical support develop systems specifically designed for this region has been a huge help. GFX: Surface prep completed quickly Kellen [00:01:41] We were able to correct the cracks in the slab with the Sherwin-Williams product and move forward without delay. Workers working and discussing plans Mike [00:01:49] Working with Sherwin-Williams, we're able to call on their experience and their technical knowledge of flooring systems. Kellen [00:01:57] Being able to utilize their expertize and get them up to the mountain is critical for this project. Rick [00:02:04] Working with my sales rep, preconstruction meetings, install meetings beforehand. Timelapse of the floor being laid down Mike [00:02:10] Having them behind us adds a sense of security to the end users. That is unlike any other manufacturer. Rick [00:02:19] It's going to be a fantastic floor in the end. Excavator digging, mountain shots, HARL shots GFX: Sherwin-Williams High Performance Flooring Designed to Perform

Sherwin-Williams partnered with GE Johnson and OmniTech Industries Inc. to install a FasTop Multi urethane flooring system for the U.S. Army High Altitude Research Lab (HARL) in Pikes Peak, Colorado. Technical service and customer support were key in selecting the correct system and installing it properly to meet the needs of a variable climate.
