How we work

Planned around your building’s operations.

Crew rolling out a fresh grey traffic coating across a whole parking level of the Three West Centre parkade in Richmond
Phased before it starts.Before the first coat goes down, the work is split into phases with you: which areas close, in what order, and what stays available to residents, tenants or production while each phase runs.Three West Centre parkade · Richmond
Yellow bay line marking over the finished floor at MTU Canada
Back into service when cured.Bay and aisle marking to your traffic plan. Each phase returns to use once the system has cured for it; that time depends on the system and the site temperature, so we confirm it before the phase begins.MTU Canada

Built for occupied buildings.Occupied buildings are the normal case for us. Access routes, containment and overnight or weekend windows are agreed in the phase plan, and the plan moves with you if the building’s needs change.Aritzia head office

The system

How a traffic coating system works

Preparation, waterproofing and wear protection work as one system: a primer bonds to the prepared concrete, a flexible membrane does the waterproofing, and the coats above it take the traffic. The exact build-up is selected for each project.

Cutaway cross-section of a traffic coating systemA block of concrete substrate at the bottom. Above it, in application order: 1 primer, a thin coat; 2 base coat, the waterproofing membrane; 3 wear coat, loaded with broadcast aggregate; 4 top coat, the finished surface.Concrete substrateprepared, not a coat
Illustrative build-up based on Tremco Vulkem EWS — not to scale. Layers vary by specified system.
  1. PrimerBonds the system to the prepared concrete so nothing above it can let go.
  2. Base coatThe waterproofing membrane. It stays flexible and bridges the hairline cracks that open and close beneath it.
  3. Wear coat, loaded with aggregateCarries the traffic. Aggregate broadcast into this coat gives abrasion resistance and grip.
  4. Top coatSeals the aggregate in and takes the sunlight; it is the coat renewed in a recoat.

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.

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 freezes and thaws all winter. Victoria stays damp long enough for carbonation to matter.

Site assessments

Send us the slab. We'll tell you what it actually needs.

Photographs and a rough area are enough to start. We'll come out, test moisture, and scope it properly.
