This is a Multi Storey Self Storage unit based in North London, providing both commercial and personal units for storage.
The loading/unloading area Tarmacked area had failed causing numerous areas of water ingress into the storage units below damaging goods and belongings stored beneath.
Makers were tasked with carrying out the repair and new waterproofing works to this area to alleviate water ingress seeping into the existing concrete substrate and causing major issues to the concrete slab. The works had to be phased to allow full access for the end user to access their units These renovations aim to stop all water ingress and to improve the facilities and ensure all the storage units meets the needs and expectations of the end users, therefore Triflex specified their Propark buried system which would then be topped off with new tarmac
Makers arrived on site expecting to the have the entire area ready but because of delays to works outside of our remit we had to reprogramme our works around the other trades but nonetheless made a positive start and did not hinder the other trades.
Before any coatings could be applied, the substrate underwent thorough preparation, including grinding, planing, and captive blasting, planing removed any irregularities and high spots, whilst Grinding ensured a smooth and even surface, the captive blasting was then used to clean and roughen the substrate, creating an ideal profile for optimal adhesion of subsequent coatings. This meticulous preparation was essential to ensure the durability and effectiveness of the coating system. Hard-to-reach areas were meticulously addressed using hand-held tools. This allowed for precise preparation and application in tight or intricate spaces, ensuring that even the most inaccessible parts of the substrate received the necessary treatment for a consistent and durable finish.
Triflex reinforcement banding detail was laid over all cracks, day joints, and other vulnerable areas to prevent further damage, water ingress and ensure durability.
This was then followed by the Triflex Propark buried system. A third layer was finally applied and heavily broadcast with quartz sand to ensure a good key for the new tarmac to adhere to. The works were phased to allow full access to the units for the end users and a smooth integration between phases was completed during the evening when the facility was at its quietest.
