Car park concrete performance not lasting?
What is the biggest challenge for concrete car parks? Cars. Concrete car park structures, whether basement or above-ground, are faced with particular challenges to their service life. Firstly there’s load, tyre friction and wear. Along with that, there’s carbonation, and the resulting concrete dust, caused by exhaust fumes.
And importantly there is the challenge of internal contamination. Chlorides from de-icing salts, along with other reactive contaminants, are brought in with the vehicles, and find their way into the concrete, threatening the reinforcing steel. MARKHAM advanced solutions are designed to protect, enhance durability and reduce maintenance on both new and existing structures.
Protect against traffic wear and tear.
Reduce risk and extend the service life of your concrete structures.
Repair and Remediate Ageing Concrete Structures
Car parks in the UK are exposed to chlorides from de-icing salts brought in by vehicles, which can penetrate the concrete and cause corrosion of the reinforcement.
This corrosion can lead to significant structural damage, requiring costly repairs and maintenance to ensure the safety and longevity of the car park.
If your concrete car park structure is already showing signs of age, corrosion or breakout damage, act early!
In many cases, deterioration can be arrested or slowed, restoring service life expectations. Grease and oil can be purged out of car park deck concrete.
Alternatively, if spalling requires steel or cementitious content, include MARKHAM treatments as part of your solution to avoid ongoing issues such as IAS (Incipient Anode Syndrome).
Ask about the CIVIL-TECT® system for the complete project-managed experience.
CIVIL-TECT® is MARKHAM’s protection and durability system for existing concrete. Optimise structural assets. Maximise service life. Reduce ongoing maintenance.
AQURON 2000 advanced spray-applied hydrogel treatment gives protection against water and chemical ingress. it promotes crack self-healing, penetrates deep into the concrete, and arrests deterioration and the steel corrosion process.
The ultimate spray-applied hydrogel treatment for pro-active maintenance of concrete is AQURON 7000. Ideal for extreme ambient conditions including marine zone and weather-exposed structures. Penetrates deep into the concrete, protecting the reinforcing steel. Arrests corrosion and deterioration.
Optimise Service Life and Minimise Maintenance, from Day One
The constant movement of vehicles causes abrasion and wear on the concrete surfaces, leading to surface deterioration and the need for frequent resurfacing.
Maintaining the surface quality is essential for safety and usability, but it involves regular maintenance and associated costs.
Enhance the durability and lifespan of your concrete assets with our advanced solutions. Combat corrosion, improve waterproofing, and reduce maintenance on both new and existing concrete.
Ask about the INFRA-TECT® and CIVIL-TECT® systems for the complete project- managed experience.
Our multi-part TOP-TECT® system is designed for car park roof decks.
TOP-TECT® is a systematic approach to concrete roof deck waterproofing, by waterproofing the concrete itself. Combining the benefits of MARKHAM colloidal silica hydrogel treatments with the advanced technology of delayed-swell gaskets, this is a holistic three-pronged approach bundled into a single readily specifiable package. A membrane is not required, giving the TOP-TECT system a significant cost benefit.
