The School Street project was a complete parking garage overhaul. The repairs included the following:
- Extensive full depth and partial depth concrete repairs
- Replacement of drains
- New plumbing lines
- Removal and replacement of existing caulking
- Routing and sealing of existing cracks
- Application of corrosion inhibitor technology
- New hot-applied waterproofing at the garage entrance
- Application of a new waterproof traffic membrane system
- Replacement of the pavers at the entrance to the garage
The project started with identification and removal of deteriorated concrete on the ramp and elevated slab of a two level conventionally reinforced parking garage. During the concrete repairs, the surface was evaluated for drainage issues, new drain locations were identified and installed. The existing drains were replaced including a new heavy-duty trench drain at the garage entrance. Following the completion of the concrete repairs, the elevated surfaces were caulked, all concrete cracks greater than 1/16” were opened and caulked, and the elevated surface was shotblasted. Ownership elected to apply corrosion inhibitor technology from Evonik to prevent future corrosion ahead of the application of a heavy-duty traffic coating. The traffic membrane application included a UV resistant layer applied only on the ramp. Finally, the existing pavers were removed along with the existing hot-applied waterproofing which was replaced and new pavers were installed.
