numerous projects ranging in size from $500,000 to
$2,000,000.
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.

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.
