How the work gets done
01 — How we work
The floor goes down fast.
Crews sized to finish whole phases in one shift — up to 30,000 square feet in a day — with coverage measured in mils and logged batch by batch.
Then lines, to your layout.
Bay and aisle marking to your traffic plan, cure times matched to the system and the season, and each section phased back into service as it completes.
Built for occupied buildings.
Most of our work happens while the building keeps operating. Phasing, containment and overnight windows are part of the plan, not an afterthought.
Handed back ready to work.
With documentation of what went down, where and how thick — the record your engineer and your next depreciation report will want.
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.
- PrimerBonds the system to the prepared concrete so nothing above it can let go.
- Base coatThe waterproofing membrane. It stays flexible and bridges the hairline cracks that open and close beneath it.
- Wear coat, loaded with aggregateCarries the traffic. Aggregate broadcast into this coat gives abrasion resistance and grip.
- 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.
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 freezes and thaws all winter. Victoria stays damp long enough for carbonation to matter.
