Lunch Lady Approved! Public School 70 in Long Island: Receives Quick Cafeteria Demo/Install


 
Job:  Public School #70 in Long Island City, NY
Square Feet:  2,800
Depth:  5 Inches
Applicator:  Pyramid Floor Covering
 
The school was in need of a renovated cafeteria. The first step was to remove the old flooring and install new VCT throughout the 2,800 SF area.
 
The demolition involved removing the entire wooden floor structure down to concrete; a step that removed 5 inches of wood. The project had to be done quickly over the holiday break so as to not disrupt the school schedule. Pyramid Floor Covering was hired by Cinalta, the General Contractor to pour LATICRETE SUPERCAP at a depth of 5 inches and to install the new floor covering after only 72 hours of drying time! Pyramid used pea gravel mixed into the SUPERCAP as a filler. There was also exposed piping above the concrete that had to be encapsulated by the SUPERCAP. 
 

The project went without incident and because of the advanced hydration technology of the SUPERCAP, the requirement to install VCT flooring over the 5 inch pour after only 72 hours was met! The cafeteria was up and going on the first day after the holiday break!
