Higgins Flooring
The Challenge

Higgins Flooring was contracted to install flooring in a building at the University of Connecticut in Storrs, CT during the winter months. The project operated under an aggressive production schedule tied to the academic calendar, leaving no room for weather-related delays or rework.

Harsh New England winter conditions created significant challenges for maintaining appropriate installation temperatures and humidity levels within the construction space. Any environmental non-compliance would have forced a work stoppage or required costly rework.

The Solution

Higgins deployed CLīMIT monitoring units throughout the installation areas. The system provided continuous real-time data that helped the crew verify conditions before laying material each morning, giving the team confidence to work efficiently without second-guessing their environment.

Real-time alerts ensured the team could respond immediately to any HVAC issues or temperature drops, maintaining a compliant window throughout the entire installation.

The Results

Project completed on time within the academic calendar deadline

No rework required due to environmental non-compliance

Monitoring data documented for the university facilities team

Improved daily workflow efficiency through crew confidence in conditions
