The New Castle, Pa., Police Department was looking to crack the case on some concrete issues it was experiencing. Enter Simon Surfaces.
The department’s concrete garage floor was becoming a safety hazard. Specifically, the deteriorating surface was riddled with serious slip-and-fall concerns. And multiple coats of paint were evidence of attempts to cover many years’ worth of damage.

The department’s concrete garage floor was becoming a safety hazard. Specifically, the deteriorating surface was riddled with serious slip-and-fall concerns. And multiple coats of paint were evidence of attempts to cover many years’ worth of damage.
They were seeking a long-term solution that would provide both a non-slip surface and the durability to handle the department’s fleet of vehicles entering and exiting the garage each day.
After a thorough inspection, Simon Surfaces determined that Simon CS-HP, a high-performance coating system, would provide the best outcome for the garage surface.
“As with any failing concrete surface, there were several issues that impacted the daily operations for the New Castle Police Department,” said Rich Serignese, vice president of Simon Surfaces. “Knowing the proven durability of our epoxy surface coatings, we felt confident our product would give them everything they needed.”
To begin the process, all existing paint was removed, and the surface was prepped with an industrial grinder. The next step was to install a base coat of Simon’s self-manufactured epoxy, along with a flood coat of slip-resistant material. Lastly, a second coat of epoxy was applied to the surface, followed by a high-performance urethane topcoat.


In just six days, the 3,725 sq. ft. garage floor surface was completely restored with a built-up system comprised of slip-resistant materials and high strength epoxy.
The end result allowed the surface to successfully handle daily police vehicle traffic.
“With this project, we were able to provide a customized solution that fit the police department’s needs and eliminated the many disadvantages of standard concrete.”
