Waterproofing elevated traffic decks
Article Abstract:
The problems caused by inadequate waterproofing of rooftop vehicle decks in multistory car parks can be avoided with the use of polymer modified mastic asphalt for the waterproofing surface. It is taken to site ready made and must be laid by expert workers. It can be used in conditions, such as damp concrete or poorly prepared concrete, which have caused other thin skin waterproofing products to fail. Several of the major car parks, such as Bluewater, Dartford, England, have been successfully waterproofed by using flexiphalte polymer modified mastic asphalt.

Elevated car park and podium deck waterproofing
Article Abstract:
The structural waterproofing of concrete car park decks has become standard practice in the UK. Indeed, most specifiers ensure that waterproofing is of the highest possible quality, having realized that 'thin skin' coatings for car park deck waterproofing are inadequate or too expensive. It is advisable to choose polymer modified mastic asphalt, which is both efficient and relatively inexpensive. Polymer modified mastic asphalt is also easy to apply.
