Sika’s high-performance concrete repair and car park deck system provided the rapid-cure watertight solution to ensure the full refurbishment of a town centre car park ahead of the client’s strict eight-week deadline.

The commercial car park at Page House in Epsom, Surrey required refurbishment in accordance with the terms of a premises lease agreement, which was coming to an end.

Contractors Concrete Repairs Ltd, were instructed to complete concrete repairs on site. As well as hard-wearing and long-lasting, a fast-curing solution was also required as a separate team of contractors were carrying out works on site on behalf of a new tenant.

These requirements were met by Sikafloor®-RB28, which was used on the parking site’s single-raised deck and connecting ramps. A superb crack-bridging system for a range of car park deck applications, with slip and abrasion-resistant wearing layers; Sikafloor®-RB28 is also incredibly fast-curing – even at low temperature.

"Sikafloor®-RB28 is very quick to install. Three or four layers can be applied in a day, leaving the surface trafficable within hours. It proved a great success.”" Ben Lawson, Senior Contracts Manager at Concrete Repairs

A total of 500m2 Sikafloor®-RB28 was applied to the car park’s existing asphalt surface. The first layer, Sikafloor®-10 Pronto, provided the surface’s four-part, low-viscosity, fast-curing primer. This was followed by Sikafloor®-32 Pronto, renowned for its superb crack-bridging properties, which was filled with 1:2 Sikafloor®-Pronto Filler and quartz sand.  

Staff and visitors to Page House can now enjoy full use of a car park which is safe, durable and watertight – and shall remain so for many years to come.

Sikafloor®-18 Pronto, which offers excellent mechanical and chemical resistance, provided the system’s fast-curing, solvent-free seal coat, giving the deck a superb skid and slip-free finish sufficient to meet HSE regulations. For the ramps, a double layer of Sikafloor®-32 Pronto, and Sikafloor®-18 Pronto was applied, as well as a priming layer of Sikafloor®-10 Pronto.

Thanks to the Sikafloor®-RB28’s simple and rapid application, Concrete Repairs Ltd enjoyed a “straightforward” car park refurbishment. Repair work started in July 2016 and was completed in just seven weeks to the client’s full satisfaction.
