Sika car park decking systems were chosen to meet the stringent specifications required by the Institute of Structural Engineers recommendations.
It was essential that the integrity of the structure would be preserved with no leaks, thus ensuring a continuing dry environment for the shopping areas below.
Sikafloor -350 elastomeric polyurethane top deck coating system was the ideal solution for this project, to give a tough flexible surface, with excellent colour stability and long term resistance to weathering.
Following preparation and priming of the concrete decks, specialist contractor APA Concrete Repairs applied Sikafloor -350 Elastic, an extremely durable, UV resistant top deck coating system with excellent crack bridging properties and good tolerance to rapid cyclic movement.
It is impervious, slip and skid resistant and capable of standing up to the abrasion and loadings from continuous vehicular traffic.
Just what was needed in this application.
Sikafloor -354, a two part, coloured epoxy seal coat, was then applied over all areas.
The new Grand Arcade car park, which is built on the site of the old Lion Yard car park, provides spaces for 660 cars, and provides shoppers with an up to date, user-friendly environment.
