The primary reason for considering the repair and maintenance of existing or the provision of new Waterproof membranes to a car park deck, is to provide continued protection against concrete deterioration. However, it will also enhance the aesthetic appearance of an otherwise dull, grey concrete surface and create non-slip adhesion to ramps and walkways as well as providing a blank canvas for directional signage and demarcation routes, and more recently a source of potential advertising space!

A number of remedial treatments are available including:

Tanking Membranes

Internally applied cementitious render and sheet membrane systems, designed to prevent water penetration into a below ground structure.

Joint and Crack Sealing

Where structural movement is unavoidable, flexible polyurethane injection or hyperlon strip membranes can be installed. These allow dynamic movement of the structure without compromising the integrity of the waterproofing system.

Waterproof Deck Membranes

De-icing salts cause chloride attack, which accelerates the breakdown of concrete surfaces. Decorative and elastometric waterproof membranes provide crack bridging and antiskid properties whilst providing protection against contamination.
