A Corpus Christi floor that passes under 1.0 x 109 ohms

Airframe and avionics work in Corpus Christi inherits its static control obligations from a customer rather than from a building code, which changes what has to be retained. Measured here: defense avionics MRO, petrochemical hazardous locations.

The customer is the auditor

An aerospace program in Corpus Christi treats the floor's records as controlled documents, which changes what gets handed over more than it changes the floor itself.

Getting there. Crew travels from Houston/Spring (via US-59/I-69).

The document behind a Corpus Christi job

ANSI/ESD S20.20-2021 is the one worth reading first for work like this. Sets the requirements for an ESD control program, and with it the system level thresholds a qualified floor has to support.

01

What it actually governs

S20.20 is a program standard, not a product standard. It tells an organisation that handles ESD sensitive electrical or electronic parts how to run a control program: what has to be qualified, what has to be verified, and how often. Flooring is one item inside that program, which is why the standard sets a system threshold rather than a floor specification.

Questions from Corpus Christi

Our ESD requirement came from a customer contract, not a code. Does that change anything?

It changes who you are satisfying, not what the floor has to do. The measurements are still STM7.1 for the floor[2] and STM97.1 for the person, footwear and floor together[3]. What tends to be stricter is the documentation and retention.

How soon can you get to Corpus Christi?

Tell us the timing you are working against and we will give you a real date rather than a placeholder. Crews work Nueces County alongside the rest of the Texas schedule. Send the details.

What do you need from us to price a Corpus Christi job?

Square footage, what is on the slab now, the resistance band your specification calls for, and the hours the space can be handed over. Four answers and we can price the actual room instead of quoting a range.

Also in Corpus Christi

Crews working Corpus Christi cover Austin, Baytown, Conroe, Houston on the same run, so a job in Nueces County rarely stands on its own.
