AUGUST 22, 2017 - TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA:
Bay to Bay Stone Restoration was selected for a most special occasion for Florida State University. The MAGLAB, located at FSU, is the home of the world's strongest superconductor Tesla magnets. Each Tesla magnet rests upon a super thick slab of dense, high-PSI concrete. Bay to Bay was called in to surface prep each magnet slab located in the smaller super conductor bays.
Bay to Bay performed a full resurfacing with PCD's, followed by a high-traffic polish for the majority of the tester bays, as well as the walkway to the recent world record holding 41.4-Tesla instrument magnet. Each bay for the magnets includes the inter-concrete staining that boast FSU's official colors, where golden numbers are displayed within a large garnet circle.
Shortly after the work was performed, a team at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory at Florida State University showcased the produced world’s most powerful resistive magnet.
The 41.4 teslas instrument sets a new world record, helping FSU to reclaim a status it held for 19 years until 2014. It also shores up the lab’s research capabilities for years to come. The world record was attained at 1:10 p.m. Monday, culminating 2 ½ years of scientific know-how, planning, designing and building all done at the MagLab’s site in Innovation Park.
