PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Armour Restoration was awarded the garage restoration project at 4K Spadina with a scope that included driveway floor coating repairs, concrete crack injections, concrete restoration and some floor drain repairs.

The main aspect of this underground garage repair entailed the resurfacing of the underground garage vehicular coatings which had worn down over time and especially degraded in the busy drive aisles and parking stalls. Given the size of the underground garage and that it serves two busy Toronto condominium towers and a retail level grocery store, a complete shutdown of traffic was impractical. Alongside with Truman Engineering Services, the building engineering consultant on the project, Armour Restoration developed a detailed schedule and worked at night in order to facilitate the resurfacing. The floor coating system specified was a hybrid epoxy base coat with an elastomeric polyurethane Pecora Traffic Coating that was available in a fast cure form.
