Concrete contamination - is this a consideration for you when designing a car park structure?
Vehicles carry in contaminants via tyres and exhaust fumes, which are transported to reinforcing steel via moisture movement. This moisture movement can not only be sealed out of the concrete, but also stopped when underway.
The best time is during construction.
For the Gosford Hospital Car Park, the INFRA-TECT system was used - this system protects the concrete from weathering, and also prevents corrosion of the reinforcing steel, increasing durability.

The builder benefits, the asset owner benefits, and the architect benefits when working with MARKHAM's specification team, as we can detail the system into the design and provide a project-specific performance warranty.
Great working with you! Excited to see how great the project will look when complete.
