WHO IS ENCAP SYSTEMS

COMPANY HISTORY

In 1987, Roy E. Johnson was the founder of a system to encapsulate lead based paint. In 1988, Roy formed Encap Systems Corporation, to market the product to the Federal Government and also to public housing for the encapsulation of lead based paint.He was successful in bidding the first lead based paint demonstration that was conducted by Dewberry and Davis, mandated by the US Congress, as one of the sixteen abatement contractors chosen from one hundred and twenty five other larger companies. Encap System Corporation, under Mr. Johnson’s management, became the only contractor/ manufacturer/ minority firm that was a part of this exclusive work.Roy was a member of the Army Corp of Engineers, the Chamber of Commerce and the Urban Business Professional Association, Roy was a committee member of the National Institute of Building Science, where he helped develop the guide specifications for reducing lead based paint hazards and the lead based paint operations and maintenance work practice manual. He also served on the committee EO 6.23, of the Association of Standard Testing Methods (ASTM) where he helped develop standards for the testing procedures for lead encapsulation materials. Roy assisted in developing the State laws for lead abatement workers and contractors for the State of Ohio. Roy served on the State Lead Advisory Committee in Ohio. The system is now being used for the rehabilitation of old buildings and as a replacement for stucco in new construction.

Prepared by: Dr. Mike Mullens, PE Dr. Bob Hoekstra Isabelina Nahmens Felix Martinez

UCF Housing Constructability Lab August 2006

Test Equipment and Procedure

ASTM C1601 - 04 Standard Test Method for Field Determination of Water Penetration of Masonry Wall Surfaces (ASTM C1601 - 04 2004) is a pressurized water test that simulates wind

driven rain. The test measures the rate of water flow out of a closed system under a given rate of

air pressure and water flow that simulates wind speed and rainfall rate respectively.

Used by the University of Central Florida to determine the reasons for water penetrations, new and old stucco construction during heaving rains and hurricanes.
