Traffic Coating & Parking Waterproofing Systems
Vehicular and pedestrian coating assemblies designed to protect concrete structures from water, chlorides, and long-term deterioration.
More Than a Coating - A Waterproofing System for Concrete Structures
Traffic coatings are not paint. They are multi-layer waterproofing systems designed to:
- Prevent water and chloride intrusion into concrete
- Protect reinforcing steel from corrosion
- Accommodate structural movement and cracking
- Withstand constant vehicular or pedestrian wear
- Extend the life of parking and podium structures
Concrete Damage Starts When Waterproofing Fails
Common failure points we address:
- Cracks left untreated before coating
- Improper surface preparation
- Inadequate detailing at drains and joints
- Coatings applied too thin
- Wrong system used for vehicular traffic
- Edge and transition failures at walls and curbs
The Layers of a Proper Traffic Coating System
- Concrete repair and crack treatment
- Surface preparation (grinding, shot blasting)
- Primer for adhesion
- Base waterproofing membrane
- Reinforcement at cracks and transitions
- Wear course for vehicular or pedestrian use
- Line striping and protection layers
Griptop P is designed for any parking space, making it your ideal choice for a long-lasting system.
Not All Coatings Are Designed for Vehicles
Vehicular Traffic Systems
Designed for parking decks and ramps with heavy wear resistance and impact durability.
Pedestrian Traffic Systems
Used on walkways, balconies, and podiums where flexibility and waterproofing are primary.
Where Proper Detailing Matters Most
- Drains and scuppers
- Expansion and control joints
- Wall and curb transitions
- Penetrations and posts
- Perimeter edges
Typical Structures We Work On
