Just as important to the architect was the selection of a durable waterproof parking surface. The architects worked closely with Durex Coverings, the installing contractor, to select the proper deck protection system.
But effective, watertight joint systems do exist. Specifically engineered to address the shortcomings of buried, sheet-membrane joint treatments that pre-date it by decades, these systems are all descendants of a product called Migutan by Emseal.
Often construction schedules won't allow the luxury of waiting for a slab to dry to manufacturer's specifications before proceeding with scheduled flooring work.
While they constitute only a small percentage of a construction budget, joint sealants and other waterproofing-related issues are responsible for a majority of post-construction complaints and requests for retrofits.
Waterproofing materials have evolved into products that not only protect structures well, but their application can be streamlined into every project's critical path task schedule.
Whether they're inside of residential or commercial buildings, or part of an independent structure, traffic-bearing surfaces of concrete parking decks can be exposed to conditions that require a different approach to coating.

We are considering bidding a project that would involve applying a clear water repellent on a recently constructed concrete block building. How should we approach the selection process for the proper material?
When designers planned the redevelopment of a historic neighborhood in Kansas City, they ran into a "small" problem. A small, condemned parking garage had to be replaced and a new one had to be designed.
