Canadian Tire retail location
Structural steel beams corroded due to water leakage
Problem
A Canadian Tire retail location with significant leaking in the service department as a result of water leaking in from the overhead parking area.
The challenges facing us were in:
- Busy retail location.
- Asphalt surface of parking area had to be removed, then replaced once the waterproof coating was in place.
- Existing membrane, which had joints, seams and overlaps, had to be removed then replaced with the seamless CN2000®.
Solution
Our actions resulted in a permanent solution to significant water leakage problem. Canadian Tire improved the image and look of its store while reducing its downtime and inconvenience to customers.
Process & Highlights
- The General Contractor removed the asphalt and the surface was prepared to be coated with CN2000®.
- CN2000® was applied from the outside, which works just as well as applying from the inside.
- After coating and the 24-hour curing period, the area was tested by flooding the surface.
- Once testing confirmed negative leaking results, the General Contractor re-applied the asphalt surface.
- Entire project was completed, and Canadian Tire back to work, within two days.
