El PasoEl Paso County
A El Paso floor that passes under 1.0 x 109 ohms
Aerospace ESD requirements arrive as contract language flowed down from a prime, so in El Paso the audience for your resistance records is somebody else's auditor. The record here: aerospace/defense manufacturing, microelectronics.
The measured record for El Paso
El Paso is on the list for the airframe, avionics and space hardware work measured in the area, each verified against a named source.
El Paso is developing an Advanced Manufacturing District at its international airport
El Paso is developing an Advanced Manufacturing District at its international airport targeted at aerospace and defense supply-chain manufacturers, alongside the Paso del Norte Defense and Aerospace Innovation Engine led by UTEP and a coalition previously awarded $40 million for a regional advanced-manufacturing cluster.
El Paso County is supporting manufacturing centers for microelectronics
El Paso County is supporting manufacturing centers for microelectronics, including semiconductor work that feeds U.S. defense systems (Entegris manufacturing center funding referenced in county allocation coverage).
The customer is the auditor
On a El Paso program the deliverable is evidence as much as coating, because the records have to survive an audit run by somebody outside your building.
The document behind a El Paso job
CSI 09 67 23 is the one worth reading first for work like this. Resinous Flooring. The MasterFormat section a resinous ESD system is specified under, because there is no dedicated static control resinous number.
There is no dedicated resinous ESD section
MasterFormat has no static control subsection under 09 67 23. The one dedicated static control flooring number, 09 65 36, governs resilient tile and sheet goods, which is a different product category from a resinous coating.
Questions from El Paso
Can you work around a live El Paso production line?
Usually, in phases around the schedule. Tell us where the natural boundaries are and what hours the space can be released. Start here.
How soon can you get to El Paso?
Tell us the timing you are working against and we will give you a real date rather than a placeholder. Crews work El Paso County alongside the rest of the Texas schedule. Send the details.
Can you look at our El Paso floor before we commit to anything?
Yes, and for an existing floor that is the sensible first step. Measuring what you already have against your requirement often costs a fraction of replacing it, and plenty of floors pass. What pushes a floor out of range.
