Hutto static control floors, built to ANSI/ESD S20.20
Server halls, network operations space and dispatch floors in Hutto run on equipment that never powers down, so the hard part of a floor here is rarely the coating. It is finding the hours. The record for Hutto shows data centers.

Uptime is the constraint
On a Hutto floor the coating decision is the easy half. Sequencing it around equipment that cannot be powered down is where the real work sits.
The document behind a Hutto 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 Hutto
Does a Hutto data hall need conductive or dissipative?
Your program document decides, and rooms with energized equipment often sit higher rather than lower. FAA-STD-019 specifies 1.0 x 106 to 1.0 x 109 ohms in rooms with live equipment for personnel safety[11], which is above a typical manufacturing floor.
Do you handle the whole job in Hutto 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.
Can you look at our Hutto 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.
