Solution provided by a Sikafloor system comprising Sikafloor EpoCem 81 and Sikafloor 261.
Main contractors, Makers UK Ltd.
repaired any defective concrete areas using the Sika MonoTop concrete repair system.
A defective column was repaired and strengthened with the carbon fibre based SikaWrap structural strengthening system.
Following thorough preparation, the intermediate decks were coated with Sikafloor 261, a durable, solvent free, epoxy based, intermediate waterproof decking system.
The top deck was prepared and coated with Sikafloor 350 Elastic, an elastomeric, polyurethane, waterproof membrane decking system.
The system was selected following independent testing which showed compliance with the present German standard for the performance of car park decking systems.
This standard is the most stringent requirement available in the world for car park systems.
It takes into account such characteristics as waterproofing, durability and chemical resistance.
Sika Limited was able to offer Thanet Council a proven, single source solution for the upgrading of Leopold Street car park.
Following the completion of this five month project, Thanet Councils Property Manager Mike Newton said: "This work should help to make Leopold Street car park more user friendly.
Upgrading the lighting and CCTV systems will help to make people feel safer when they are using it, and the addition of help points at the new ticket machines will enable people to summon help in case of emergency.
The improvements should also help to considerably extend the lifetime of the car park.".
