Problem:
The 20 year old, 100,000 sq. ft., un-coated concrete parking structure at this University in Southern California was leaking and in desperate need of repair. Whenever there was a heavy rain, water would pool on levels 1 & 2 and leak through to the business operations center on level 3 below. It was imperative that the leaks be repaired and vital university computers protected from water damage. |
|
Solution:
In December 2009, Polycoat’s contractor, Innovative Painting & Waterproofing, learned of the University’s project to repair and waterproof its parking structure. Based on Innovative’s educational presentation demonstrating the benefits of polyurea vs. polyurethane, University architects changed the project specs and awarded the contract to Innovative with the requirement they use a polyurea waterproofing solution.
Because the parking structure was below grade and the business operations on level 3 had to remain open during the renovation, Innovative turned to Polycoat Products for a waterproof coating solution that was 100% solids, emitted no odor and would provide the University with a rapid return to service
