Sets delivery distance from the nearest plant of the selected product.
calculator Corrected area — head-to-head (% of total SF)
Name each column and set the % of the slab needing correction — e.g. “With FST” after our oversight vs the customer’s typical.

buildings Competitor (MVE)
Own basis — independent of the leveling %.
Sets coverage & density from the product data sheet.
Median coverage from the product guidelines (single-coat).
= density ÷ coverage. Drives MVE epoxy A4 transport carbon.
Nearest plant — overseas origins flag imports.
Auto-filled from the nearest plant / US port-of-entry — drives A4 transport CO₂. Override if known.
Optional primer coat (0 = none). Adds primer material haul (A4) & embodied.
A1–A3 for the primer, if used.
layers Leveling cost (broken out, $/SF)
$/SF at ¼″ coat — scales with the thickness entered below.
$/SF (area-based). Shotblast prep cost is entered separately below.
leaf LEED v5 — leveling embodied carbon (A1–A3)
Sets density & GWP from product data.
Nearest plant auto-fills haul distance; override if you know the source.
Fractions OK — e.g. 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 (or a decimal like 0.25).
Product EPD value. Cementitious SLU range ≈ 114–203 by cement source.
A5 install waste — adds to the A1–A3 factor below.
= thickness × density × GWP (mass-based, A1–A3). Drives the CO₂ result.
Production CO₂ per bag = bag mass × GWP (thickness-independent). Transport adds a little on top.
flash_on Shotblast prep & install energy
Applying leveler requires shotblasting the existing slab first. These drive the operational CO₂, energy, time & cost across 100% of the leveled area. Industry defaults — editable.
Blast abrasive (steel-shot make-up) — the shot consumed by blasting has its own manufacturing + haul carbon. These factors are shared with the MVE prep. Estimates — editable.
EPA eGRID U.S. average.
Steel-shot embodied carbon (≈ 2.0 kg CO₂e/kg).
delete Shotblast spoil to landfill (LEED)
Existing substrate + spent abrasive → C&D waste only. No new-material carbon.
buildings MVE moisture-mitigation prep (CSP-3) — VS309 eliminates
The MVE epoxy vapor barrier requires shotblasting the slab to a CSP-3 profile across the mitigated area. This is a separate calculation from the leveling prep — VS309 (day-of-pour) needs none of it. Industry defaults — editable.
Shot-blast to CSP-3 for the epoxy MVB (reference ≈ $0.22/SF).
CSP-3 is more aggressive than leveling prep. Uses the shared abrasive GWP + haul.
Existing substrate + spent abrasive → C&D waste only.
Money savings shown on corrected area (VS309 warranted vs MVE). Leveling savings = standard leveling cost × oversight reduction. VS309 installs day-of-pour: 0 schedule days and 0 added embodied carbon.
