Simon Surfaces

Worn steps can turn into a bigger safety issue fast.

At a healthcare campus in Chapel Hill, NC, 53 exterior steps and 3 landings were wearing down and becoming a safety concern. A full tear-out wasn’t the only option, but a temporary patch wasn’t the right fix either.

After evaluating the area, Simon Surfaces recommended Simon FX because the surface had to work with the existing concrete, metal, and daily foot traffic while helping improve traction.

Looking good after install is one thing. Holding up after a year of daily use is another. When our team revisited the site, the surface still looked new.

Hurricane season is right around the corner, so now is a good time to check the things that usually cause problems during severe weather.

NOAA is forecasting 8 to 14 named storms for the 2026 Atlantic season. Of those, 3 to 6 are expected to become hurricanes, with 1 to 3 becoming major hurricanes.

For facility teams, even one strong storm can create a lot to manage.
Storm prep is easier before the storm is on the radar. A quick check now can save a much bigger headache later. https://okt.to/nJysHw
