Experience 

Hruska Federal Courthouse, Omaha, NE

We completed a comprehensive terrazzo restoration project at the Hruska Federal Courthouse in Omaha, Nebraska, revitalizing the historic flooring to its original elegance while preserving the integrity of the building’s architectural heritage.

Project Overview:

• Location: Hruska Federal Courthouse, Omaha, NE
• Client:   U.S. General Services Administration (GSA)
• Scope of Work:   Full restoration of existing terrazzo flooring throughout public corridors and lobby areas

Process:

1. Assessment & Planning:     Our team conducted a detailed inspection of the existing terrazzo surfaces to identify areas of wear, staining, cracking, and previous patchwork. We developed a restoration plan that balanced preservation with performance.
2. Surface Preparation:   We began by carefully grinding the terrazzo to remove surface imperfections and expose a fresh layer of aggregate. Dust containment measures were implemented to maintain a clean and safe environment.
3. Repairs & Patching:     Damaged sections were repaired using color-matched epoxy and aggregate blends to seamlessly integrate with the original design. Cracks and voids were filled and leveled to ensure a uniform surface.
4. Polishing & Sealing:     The restored terrazzo was polished in multiple stages to achieve a high-gloss finish, enhancing both aesthetics and durability. A penetrating sealer was applied to protect the surface from future staining and wear.
5. Final Inspection:     We conducted a thorough walkthrough with the client to ensure all restoration goals were met and that the finish aligned with federal standards for public plumbing & air.

Outcome: 

The restored terrazzo flooring now reflects the courthouse’s historic character while meeting modern standards for durability and appearance. The project was completed on time and with minimal disruption to courthouse operations, earning positive feedback from facility managers and staff.
