Parking Garage Repair & Protection

The Problem: Corrosion & Structural Deterioration in Parking Garages

Parking garages face chloride exposure from deicing salts, vehicle traffic, and water infiltration, leading to concrete deterioration, corrosion of embedded steel, and reduced load-bearing capacity. Additionally, increased weight from electric vehicles adds stress to garage decks, requiring enhanced reinforcement.

The Solution: Surtreat’s Advanced Parking Garage Protection System

Surtreat provides a comprehensive repair and reinforcement system to prevent corrosion and restore structural integrity:

  • TPS XII: Vapor-phase corrosion inhibitor that migrates through concrete and protects embedded steel.
  • TPS II: Concrete densifier that strengthens the matrix and reduces porosity.
  • FRP Systems: High-strength fiber composites that reinforce load-bearing capacity in weakened structures.
  • Repel WB: Hydrophobic surface treatment that prevents moisture and chloride ingress.

Application Process: How to Repair & Strengthen Parking Garages

Step 1: Surface Cleaning
- Remove contaminants, dirt, and deteriorated concrete to ensure full penetration of treatments.
- Use pressure washing or abrasive cleaning for optimal surface preparation.

Step 2: Apply TPS XII
- Apply TPS XII to protect embedded steel from chloride-induced corrosion.
- Migrates through the concrete, preventing further rebar deterioration.

Step 3: Apply TPS II
- Apply TPS II to strengthen the concrete, reduce porosity, and improve adhesion for reinforcement.
- Enhances durability, minimizing future deterioration risks.

Step 4: Install FRP Systems (for Structural Reinforcement Areas)
- Apply high-strength carbon or glass fiber composites to reinforce structural elements.
- Increases load-bearing capacity for weakened beams, slabs, or columns.

Step 5: Apply Repel WB
- Final application of Repel WB forms a water-repellent barrier.
- Prevents moisture and chloride ingress, reducing future maintenance needs.

Results: Why Surtreat’s Parking Garage Protection System Works

Extended Parking Garage Service Life – Stops corrosion, strengthens concrete, and improves load-bearing capacity.
Increased Structural Durability – TPS II enhances concrete strength, reducing cracking and deterioration.
Long-Term Corrosion Inhibition – TPS XII prevents rebar corrosion, reducing repair needs.
Enhanced Moisture Protection – Repel WB blocks water infiltration, minimizing freeze-thaw damage.
Cost-Effective Maintenance – Reduces ongoing repair costs by preventing future damage.
