Concrete that outlives the weather.
Parkade waterproofing, industrial floor coatings and structural concrete repair across Greater Vancouver, Whistler and Victoria.
01 — How a slab fails
It starts as a hairline crack.
Thermal movement and traffic load open shrinkage cracks in the wearing surface. At this stage it is a cosmetic problem — and the cheapest one you will ever fix.
Then Vancouver rain finds it.
Water tracks down through the slab and sits against the steel. On the North Shore and in Richmond it arrives carrying road salt and chlorides.
The rebar corrodes and expands.
Corroding steel occupies several times its original volume. That pressure has nowhere to go except outward, into sound concrete.
And the slab spalls from the inside.
Now it is a structural repair with shoring, traffic closures and a strata assessment. Waterproofing at step one costs a fraction of arriving at step four.
02 — Anatomy of a traffic deck system
Every system starts with preparation.
Shot blasting or diamond grinding to a measured surface profile. Nothing bonds to laitance, curing compound or a dirty slab — and no warranty survives it.
A primer that tolerates our moisture.
Richmond's water table and Vancouver's damp make vapour drive a design condition, not an edge case. We test slab moisture before a single pail is opened.
The membrane does the waterproofing.
A continuous elastomeric layer that bridges cracks and moves with the slab, turned up at every curb, drain and expansion joint.
Aggregate carries the traffic.
Broadcast silica gives the deck its slip resistance and absorbs the abrasion, so the membrane underneath is never the sacrificial layer.
A UV-stable wear coat on top.
Aliphatic topcoats hold their colour on exposed roof decks instead of chalking and ambering through a Whistler summer.
Four coats. One warranty.
Installed in phases so half your parkade stays open — and back under traffic in twenty-four hours.

What we install
Six disciplines, one crew that owns the whole slab.
We don't sub out the coating. The people who assess your slab are the people who prepare and install it.
Parkade waterproofing
Traffic-bearing membranes for suspended slabs, ramps and roof decks, phased to keep your parkade in use.
Learn more →Industrial floor coatings
High-build epoxy and urethane systems for warehouses, plants and hangars where forklifts and chemicals both live.
Learn more →Structural concrete repair
Spall and delamination repair, rebar treatment and overhead patching before the coating goes down.
Learn more →Polished concrete
Mechanically polished, densified slabs for retail and institutional floors that have to look good under scrutiny.
Learn more →Expansion joints
Joint replacement and detailing — the single most common place a waterproofing system is lost.
Learn more →Surface preparation
Shot blasting, diamond grinding and moisture testing to a measured profile, documented before installation.
Learn more →Where we work
Greater Vancouver, the Sea-to-Sky, and Vancouver Island.
Each region fails differently. Richmond's water table drives vapour up through slabs. The North Shore carries salt air. Whistler runs eighty freeze–thaw cycles a season. Victoria stays damp long enough for carbonation to matter.
