Car park concrete performance not lasting?
What is the biggest challenge for concrete car parks? Cars.
Concrete car park structures, whether basement or above-ground, are faced with particular challenges to their service life. Firstly there’s load, tyre friction and wear. Then there’s carbonation, and the resulting concrete dust, caused by exhaust fumes.
Last but not least, moisture and contaminants are brought in with the vehicles, and find their way into the concrete, threatening the reinforcing steel. MARKHAM advanced solutions are designed to protect, enhance durability and reduce maintenance on both new and existing structures.
Enhancing concrete durability.
Reduce risk and extend the service life of your concrete car park structures. Protect against corrosion, water migration, carbonation, and the resulting repair expense. MARKHAM provide the sustainable protection needed for protecting your car park from day one, or can help you rescue the service life of an ageing structure.
Repair and Remediate Ageing Concrete Structures
If your concrete car park structure is already showing signs of age, corrosion or breakout damage, act early!
In many cases, deterioration can be arrested or slowed, restoring service life expectations. Grease and oil can be purged out of car park deck concrete.
Alternatively, if spalling requires steel or cementitious content, include MARKHAM treatments as part of your solution to avoid ongoing issues such as IAS (Incipient Anode Syndrome).

CIVIL-TECT® is MARKHAM’s protection and durability system for existing concrete. Optimise structural assets. Maximise service life. Reduce ongoing maintenance.
CONQOR PROTECT advanced spray-applied hydrogel treatment for concrete promotes crack self-healing and enetrates deep into the concrete, protecting the reinforcing steel. CONQOR PROTECT also provides anti-dusting for ceilings and soffits.
AQURON 2000 advanced spray-applied hydrogel treatment gives protection against water and chemical ingress. it promotes crack self-healing, penetrates deep into the concrete, and arrests deterioration and the steel corrosion process.
The ultimate spray-applied hydrogel treatment for pro-active maintenance of concrete is AQURON 7000. Ideal for extreme ambient conditions including marine zone and weather-exposed structures. Penetrates deep into the concrete, protecting the reinforcing steel. Arrests corrosion and deterioration.
Optimise Service Life and Minimise Maintenance, from Day One
Enhance the durability and lifespan of your concrete assets with our advanced solutions. Combat corrosion, improve waterproofing, and reduce maintenance on both new and existing concrete.

Our multi-part TOP-TECT® system is designed for car park roof decks.
TOP-TECT® is a systematic approach to concrete roof deck waterproofing, by waterproofing the concrete itself. Combining the benefits of MARKHAM colloidal silica hydrogel treatments with the advanced technology of delayed-swell gaskets, this is a holistic three-pronged approach bundled into a single readily specifiable package. A membrane is not required, giving the TOP-TECT system a significant cost benefit.

FAQs.
No, hydrogel treatments do not change the surface texture of the car park concrete and therefore do not contribute to tyre squeal.
Hydrogel treatments are permanent, as they react within the concrete to produce new C-S-H. Therefore they do not need to be re-applied.
For the full TECT system MARKHAM experience, a project-specific warranty will be offered based on asset condition and extent of works. These performance warranties are typically a minimum of 15 years. For product supply only, where application is outside MARKHAM control, warranty is limited to replacement of product.
Firstly, the TECT systems involve a project-specific approach and typically involve several products working together. Secondly, the TECT systems carry a performance-based project-specific warranty, due to MARKHAM being able to provide installation and quality control on site. Single products are still of the highest quality, and can provide effective protection when the customer follows the application procedure correctly. Single products carry a standard product replacement warranty.
Yes. The hydrogel treatment creates fresh C-S-H inside the concrete – concreteʼs own building molecule. There is nothing foreign introduced. There is no residual coating. Therefore any coating or paint designed to be applied to bare concrete can safely be applied to hydrogel-treated concrete.
