Bristol Flyover Wrapped Up With Sika
SikaWrap 300A, a strong and tough Aramid fabric wrap system, was recently chosen to protect the columns on Gypsy Lane Flyover on the A38 north of Bristol against vehicle impact damage.
Because of this requirement, specialist contractors Warley Coatings, who have worked on previous Mercedes projects, chose Sikafloor 350 top deck coating system to lay over this vulnerable office area.
This elastic, solvent free polyurethane system is extremely durable with good crack bridging qualities and will provide excellent protection.
The area was then over-coated with Sikafloor 354 epoxy-polyurethane seal coat to provide a durable wearing surface.
All other areas were coated with Sikafloor 261, a durable, solvent free epoxy resin intermediate decking system.
Sika repair mortars, protective coatings and decking membranes for car parks are tested in accordance with the German Rili-DAfStb standard (equivalent to the British Standard in the UK).
This standard is the most complete and complex standard for those applications; in fact it is the only one that tested and categorised car park decking membranes, and has had a significant influence on the development of the new European Standard on repair mortars, protective coatings and waterproofing membranes.
