Car parks and parking decks are unique constructions and early deterioration is a real risk. To extend their lifespan, Soprema provides a seamless waterproofing barrier, followed by a durable protective finish. Soprema’s ALSAN liquid systems allow traffic to safely get up and down ramps, and offer the longevity needed.
ALSAN: BBA approved waterproofing system
By selecting products from the ALSAN range, we can come up with a system that is bespoke to your project and that meet the requirements of specific car park zones:
• Primer (with the right primer, ALSAN is compatible with virtually any substrate, from concrete to metal)
• Waterproofing resin (such as ALSAN 770)
• Protection layer (e.g. ALSAN 870 RS)
• Finish layer (ALSAN 970 F pigmented seal, for instance)
Soprema is also able to provide joints, drains, solutions for staircases that lead pedestrians into and out of the car park, anti-graffiti coating and anti-carbonation coating for columns and stairwells.
The fully reinforced ALSAN system has BBA certification for use on car parks. ALSAN liquid systems provide effective long-term waterproofing, resist impact damage and wear, retain skid resistance, remain bonded to the deck under high shear forces, whilst resisting thermal movement, chemical attacks, dynamic crack cycling and UV exposure. While many polymers require additional UV-resistant coating to protect the system underneath; an ALSAN build-up is fully UV-resistant from the primer upwards.
A few key points to note:
- Speed of application: Thanks to the fast-curing ALSAN resins, a car park does not have to close. Soprema’s PMMA-based resins can be trafficked in as little as one to one and a half hours.
- As car park waterproofing involves the use of multiple layers, the fact that Soprema’s resins are so quick to achieve full strength also means that you can move from one layer to the next in no time.
- Wide range of finishes: There is a wide range of colours, for marking driving aisles and parking bays, and for line marking and directional marking – as well as in terms of the size and texture of the slip-resistant aggregates.
Project Support
Soprema offers specification support for both new build and refurbishment projects. With an early onboarding, we can provide guidance on the finish of the concrete, as well as selecting the right solution and for those refurbishment projects, they can support with thorough inspections, enabling them to prepare a detailed proposal and recommendation for each deck or section.
If you need more details about the ALSAN range of liquid products or have a project which needs guidance, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. (Contact Soprema)
