A Garland floor that passes under 1.0 x 109 ohms
Racks, dispatch desks and network positions in Garland carry a static requirement that comes from the equipment rather than from any production process. The record here shows data centers.
The measured record for Garland
Equipment capacity in Dallas County is what drives the requirement here, not how many people live nearby. Each entry names its source.

Digital Realty has filed to expand a planned data center campus ("DFW37") in the Garland area of Dallas: a 410,000 sq ft building with a tenant office and six data halls, under construction from March 2025 through October 2026.
Uptime is the constraint
Two things change on a Garland job with live racks in the room. The band is often set higher for the safety of anyone working near energized gear, and the handover window becomes the plan.
The document behind a Garland job
ESD TR53-01-22 is the one worth reading first for work like this. The technical report for compliance verification testing of ESD control items in service. The document your periodic floor recheck follows.
Qualification is day one, verification is forever
A floor is qualified once, when it goes in. TR53 is about everything after that: the recurring checks that prove the floor is still doing its job while people walk on it, clean it and wheel carts across it.
Questions from Garland
Can you do this without taking our Garland room offline?
Usually, by working the space in sections around the equipment. The constraint is cure time, not application time: 24 hours before anyone walks on it at 70 F and 50 percent relative humidity[7]. Tell us how the hall is zoned and we will build the sequence backwards from your uptime requirement.
How soon can you get to Garland?
Tell us the timing you are working against and we will give you a real date rather than a placeholder. Crews work Dallas County alongside the rest of the Texas schedule. Send the details.
Do you handle the whole job in Garland 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.
Also in Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington
Crews working Garland cover Richardson, Plano, McKinney, Dallas on the same run, so a job in Dallas County rarely stands on its own.
