Case Study: Grady Memorial Hospital achieves fast-track flood recovery with ARDEX Americas flooring solutions

Grady Memorial Hospital restores 80,000 square feet in fast-track renovation with ARDEX Americas

Grady Memorial Hospital, a major Atlanta-based trauma center, faced extensive flood damage across 80,000 square feet of flooring. The aged building's concrete substrates had extremely high moisture levels and were covered in old adhesive residues, creating a complex challenge that needed a fast-track solution. ARDEX Americas provided the products and expertise to remediate the substrate and prepare it for new flooring installation.

The solution implemented by ARDEX Americas involved using their ARDEX MC RAPID moisture control system to suppress the high moisture vapor and ARDEX K 13 self-leveling underlayment to create a smooth surface over the old residues. This approach allowed work to proceed within hours instead of the months required by traditional methods. The project was completed on schedule, successfully providing flat, smooth, and compliant substrates that were immediately ready for resilient flooring installation, allowing the hospital to quickly resume its critical operations.
