They happen because SCIFs are treated like conventional construction projects, when in reality they are performance-driven security systems. At Surface Solutions, we are often called after a project has already failed testing or inspection. By that point, schedules are - [Moisture: The Hidden Risk Inside Secure Facilities](https://surfacesolutions-us.com/moisture-the-hidden-risk-inside-secure-facilities/) - Why SCIF Flooring Fails and How to Prevent It Moisture is one of the most underestimated risks in SCIF construction. While attention is often placed on walls and shielding, flooring failures quietly undermine secure environments long after a facility is occupied.
