Jack, 
Our experience (bad) has not been with poured ESD flooring, but with
conductive tile.  Whichever type of flooring your client chooses, it cannot
be stressed enough that the concrete slab be below the maximum
allowable moisture level specified by the flooring manufacturer.  Do not
accept responses from the contractor that "it's close enough".  My
understanding is that excessive moisture under poured flooring is much
tougher to deal with than tile.

We have a client that is building a new facility and wants to put in ESD
safe flooring.  They have done a lot of review, and based on literature
and salesment, have narrowed choices to an epoxy base or a carbon
filled urethane base poured floor.  There is significant cost difference
between the two, and one has a longer projected life.

Does anyone have any experience with either of these flooring materials
(or other choices) that they would be willing to share either on the net or
one-on-one regarding this subject?  Thanks
