Project Showcase:
BECKMAN - COULTER of Brea, CA 

Some jobsites are tough!  There was a combination of new and old concrete, with trench lines and all the usual cracks and joints to address.  Our certified and super-vised applicators had some work to do on tens of thousands of feet of slab.  In the end, the whole project was properly sealed and allowed the safe installation of the floor covering system.  Advanced Moisture Control has also done work on other Beckman - Coulter projects.
