Theis Tekton Construction Applications
Every Theis Construction product uses the BLT sandwich system — substrate, primer, Tekton core, functional coat, topcoat — delivering structural protection no competitor can match.
Building harder. Building longer. Building American.
Theis Construction delivers specialty construction and infrastructure hardening services powered by Theis Tekton™ chemistry. From blast-resistant facilities to Tekton-reinforced concrete structures, we build infrastructure that performs under extreme conditions. Our team brings structural engineering excellence to the most demanding build environments in the world.
Our construction capabilities combine traditional structural engineering excellence with proprietary Tekton enhancement — producing structures that resist blast, ballistics, corrosion, and environmental degradation beyond what conventional construction can achieve. We build for the long term — facilities designed to outlast the threats they face.
Design and construction of facilities engineered to survive blast overpressure events — including command centers, ammunition storage, critical infrastructure facilities, and hardened communication nodes.
Structural concrete, steel, and composite systems enhanced with Theis Tekton™ chemistry — delivering superior impact resistance, corrosion protection, and service life compared to conventional structural methods.
Specialized construction of command, control, communications, and intelligence facilities requiring multi-threat protection, electromagnetic shielding, and continuity-of-operations design standards.
Civil and structural infrastructure construction with integrated Tekton corrosion protection — eliminating the premature deterioration that costs governments and operators billions annually in maintenance and replacement.
Professional application of Theis Tekton™ protective coatings to new and existing structures, bridges, tunnels, and critical infrastructure assets — providing a permanent barrier against blast, ballistics, and environmental degradation.
Engineering and construction services to harden existing facilities against blast, ballistic, and natural hazard threats — extending service life and upgrading protection levels without full demolition and rebuild.
Concrete is porous. Contaminants leach through — straight into the surrounding soil and groundwater. Competitive coatings degrade shortly after application, fail to stop cracking, and are not truly waterproof. Theis Tekton changes the equation entirely.
| Criterion | Theis Tekton™ | Concrete Replacement | Epoxy Coating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost per sq ft | ~$12 (sells $25+) | Very high — $70+ | Far more costly |
| Truly waterproof | ✔ Yes | ✖ No — porous | ✖ No |
| Return to service | Hours | Days to weeks | Extended — days |
| Works on contaminated concrete | ✔ Yes | N/A — replacement | ✖ No |
| Cracks over time | ✔ Resists cracking | ✖ Cracks, degrades | ✖ Brittle, chips |
| Mobile application | ✔ Roll or spray | ✖ Not mobile | Complicated setup |
A maintenance pit exposed to years of hydrocarbon saturation, solvents, and corrosive runoff — a contamination risk for surrounding soil and groundwater — was coated with the Theis Tekton waterproofing system. The result: a beautiful, durable, fully sealed surface returned to service within hours of application. Clean. Professional. Compliant.
The transformation speaks for itself: no demolition, no replacement, no extended downtime. Just the Tekton system — rolled on and ready.
Traditional powder coating requires massive, expensive equipment and high curing temperatures while producing VOC emissions. Theis Tekton requires none of it.
Theis Tekton is a fire-resistant coating system suited for structural applications where fire safety is paramount. Proven in real-world deployments — including a Bikram Yoga facility featuring an engineered gas system and airflow system where fire resistance was a critical safety requirement.
Every Theis Construction product uses the BLT sandwich system — substrate, primer, Tekton core, functional coat, topcoat — delivering structural protection no competitor can match.
Every Theis Construction project is engineered with or enhanced by Theis Tekton™ — our proprietary materials system proven for over 20 years in the world's most extreme environments. This gives Theis Construction a materials advantage that no competitor can replicate. We don't just build structures — we build structures that are chemically hardened against the threats of the modern world.
