A Fort Worth floor that passes under 1.0 x 109 ohms
Aerospace ESD requirements usually arrive as contract language flowed down from a prime, not as a building code, so in Fort Worth the audience for your resistance records is somebody else's auditor. The record here shows aerospace/avionics manufacturing.
The static sensitive work in Fort Worth
Fort Worth is on the list for the airframe, avionics and space hardware work measured in the area, each verified against a named source.
Lockheed Martin's Fort Worth plant, a 19,000-person F-35 production facility
Lockheed Martin's Fort Worth plant, a 19,000-person F-35 production facility, delivered a record 191 F-35s in 2025 and finalized a $24 billion Lots 18-19 contract for up to 296 more aircraft with deliveries beginning in 2026.
Bell Textron began construction in 2026 on a $632 million
Bell Textron began construction in 2026 on a $632 million, 448,000 sq ft aircraft-parts factory at AllianceTexas in north Fort Worth to build rotor blades and transmissions for the Army's MV-75 next-generation aircraft, a contract that could be worth $70 billion.
The customer is the auditor
An aerospace program in Fort Worth treats the floor's qualification and reverification records as controlled documents, which changes what has to be handed over more than it changes the floor.
The document behind a Fort Worth job
FAA-STD-019 is the one worth reading first for work like this. Lightning and surge protection, grounding, bonding and shielding for FAA facilities. It sets a floor resistance range above a typical ESD floor.
The band runs higher on purpose
FAA-STD-019 requires floor resistance between 1.0 x 106 and 1.0 x 109 ohms in rooms with energized equipment. That is above a typical manufacturing ESD floor, and the reason is personnel safety around live power rather than component protection.
Questions from Fort Worth
What records should we insist on at closeout?
Product data for the system installed, the surface preparation profile, moisture readings taken before installation, a grounding drawing, and the resistance readings mapped to floor locations. Name that package in the specification or it tends not to exist.
Do you handle the whole job in Fort Worth or just the coating?
The whole job: removing what is down, preparing the slab, the grounding network, the system itself and the cure schedule around your operation. Prep and grounding are where most of the work is. How it runs.
What do you need from us to price a Fort Worth 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.

Crews working Fort Worth cover Richardson, Plano, Garland, McKinney on the same run, so a job in Tarrant County rarely stands on its own.
