Case Study: Waterproofing Challenge

Alchemco Had A Challenge: How to waterproof and protect an extremely busy, 220,000 SF parking structure with minimum traffic disruption.

Solution: TechCrete 2500 Waterproofing System

Challenge Accepted! Application of TechCrete 2500 on 20,000 sf of Parking Slab

This structure had a failed coating system and was suffering from severe leaking. The owner had researched several potential solutions, and they were either cost-prohibitive or would take too long (disrupting traffic). Check out the video and see why TechCrete 2500 Waterproofing Agent was the chosen solution.

For starters, it’s a two-fold time saver. Not only do you not have to reapply it every 5 to 10 years like most waterproofing systems, but it’s also easier and quicker to apply from the beginning. One treatment lasts the life of the concrete. TechCrete 2500 is non-toxic, 100% trafficable, and tolerates thermal stresses. It also lowers the risk of concrete becoming unreliable since it allows faults to be found and fixed easily. This environmentally friendly solution is backed by a 15 or 30-year labor and material watertight warranty and is a preferred waterproofing system for many of the U.S.’s biggest industries.

  • Cannot be damaged, torn or delaminated … since it waterproofs the inside of the concrete.
  • TechCrete 2500 increases the durability and sustainability of the concrete structure.
  • The Modified Gel protects and waterproofs the concrete structure for the design life of the structure.
  • Penetrates deep in the concrete
  • UV Resistant
  • Handles high thermal stress well
  • Flexible Gel composition, not rigid crystals
  • Non-Hazardous
  • No VOC’s – Environmentally Friendly
  • Helps protect concrete from chloride ion penetration
  • Increases the hardness of the concrete surface
  • Seals existing cracks up to 2.0 mm in width
  • Seals future cracks up to 0.4 mm in width
  • Does not form a film on the surface of the concrete, or change the appearance
