Traffic Coatings
Parking Garages
Waterproofing and traffic coatings for parking decks, ramps and structures that carry vehicles while protecting the concrete below.
Concrete decks and ramps
Why this application fails
Where problems start
- Cracks and joints in the slab let water reach embedded steel
- Traffic wears through thin or unsuitable coatings
- Ramps and turning areas see concentrated stress
- Failed joints and drains channel water into the structure
Conditions to evaluate
- Concrete soundness, cracks, spalls and cover
- Existing coatings and their bond
- Slab moisture
- Traffic type and turning / ramp areas
- Joint locations and movement

Products used
Critical details
Where the work is won or lost
- Moving and construction joints
- Drains and low points
- Ramps, turns and speed bumps
- Columns, curbs and terminations
Specification checklist
What to confirm
- Concrete assessment and moisture testing
- Repair and joint-treatment scope
- Traffic zoning (drive lanes vs turns vs ramps)
- Slip-resistance and marking requirements
- Drainage review

FAQ
Parking Garages — common questions
Can the garage stay partly open during work?
Phasing is common on occupied structures and is planned around cure times and traffic. Scope and sequencing are confirmed during a project review.
Do cracks need to be repaired first?
Yes. Cracks and joints are assessed and treated before waterproofing so movement does not telegraph through the finished system.
