Parking and Structure Repair
Your parking structure is an integral part of your business, affecting customers, clients, employees and oftentimes profitability. Parking structures face a variety of challenges including heavy traffic patterns, water, weather and time, which can create cracks, compromise expansion joint strength and pose major safety and structural concerns.
As an important part of your productivity and revenue stream, we understand the need to keep your parking structure in operation during any repairs or restoration. Our team will partner with you to determine the best course of action, working in phases to provide parking options and optimal safety.
Cracks on concrete appear due to many different reasons. These reasons range from pouring a bad batch of concrete, to improper curing during the construction process. In other words, it’s those cracks that are caused by the constant movement, expansion, and contraction of the structure and the vehicle traffic.
If you are in a parking garage and you stand still while cars are passing by, you will likely feel yourself vibrating. Of course, this is normal and you shouldn’t be alarmed. The heat and cold cycles of day and night cause the structure to expand and contract. All these items come together to cause fissures in the concrete on a long-term basis. It is normal for a concrete parking structure to contain cracks. Small cracks typically do not constitute a serious structural problem although a review by a structural engineer is always recommended. Let Empire Roofing provide you with the best solution for your garage or structure.

TRAFFIC COATING
Traffic Coatings describes a specialized protective layer applied to the surface of concrete for vehicular or pedestrian areas. The main purpose of these products is to protect surfaces against moisture and chemical intrusion and the resulting deterioration they cause. Parking garages, plaza decks, balconies, and walkways are typical building elements where traffic coatings are installed to protect from wear and tear by vehicles and pedestrians.
Proper application of traffic coatings by trained technicians can prolong the life of a structure and improve the effectiveness of the surface. Traffic coatings—especially in high traffic areas—can protect the concrete and reduce long-term costs for repair and maintenance.
Traffic coatings can also include light-reflective material, slip-resistant properties, chemical resistance, and protection against thermal expansion and contraction. Traffic coatings can be classified as pedestrian coatings, vehicular coatings, specialty coatings, under tile systems, and primers.
