The first contract, encompassing a total area of 4,500 square metres was completed just prior to Christmas 2005, with the larger 6,200 square metres on Car Park B being handed over to the client, Dublin Airport Authority, in June last year.
The Managing Director for the Wear Group, Peter McCartan, comments: "Not only do we find this a very good system to work with, but the finished job looks well and the client, Dublin Airport Authority, is delighted with the finish and the way the contract has gone".
Anna Mcguinne, the Project Manager at Dublin Airport, comments: "The finished surfaces are delightful and the contract was completed on time and within budget".
Rapide 3 FR fleece reinforced is an ideal specification for high traffic environments like multi-storey car parks and is well able to cope with the heavy wear associated with ramps and turning spaces.
The 1100 mm wide rolls of polyester matting are set into a build up of the Rapide resin to accommodate structural movement and bridge over cracking in the concrete deck or other substrate.
The parking bays at Dublin Airport are finished in a blue colour option of Rapide while the circulation routes are defined in light grey.
As well as the resurfacing and line marking, the Wear Group also carried out repairs to the concrete structure itself and replaced all the expansion joints in the deck slabs.
