FAQ
Concrete contractors answer your questions
Québec Bill 122 - Maintaining concrete structures and parking garages
The benefits of properly maintaining multi level parking structures
First of all, it's important to know that Bill 122 requires a complete inspection of facades of buildings of 5 or more storeys, rolling slabs and underground parking to be done by an engineer every 5 years, starting from the 10th year of the structure's existence.
Moreover, proper maintenance of the concrete in an underground parking garage helps to:
- extend the life of the parking lot;
- comply with any new standards that may apply;
- maintain a safe, functional structure;
- optimize maintenance costs and protect the value of the building.
Methods for concrete repair, maintenance, and protection in parking garages
Atwill-Morin offers cost-effective, sustainable solutions for the maintenance and overall protection of underground and multi-storey concrete parking lots, in collaboration with the engineers, architects and other professionals of our network:
- Partial or complete demolition and restoration of slabs;
- Replacement of corroded steel reinforcement in concrete
- Water drainage management
- Application of a concrete protection membrane, resistant to the following :
- Chlorides contaminated waters;
- Temperature changes;
- Sand;
- Vehicular traffic;
- Reinforcement of columns, beams and other structural elements with a carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite system;
What are the solutions for concrete facades and balconies restoration?
Atwill-Morin carries out necessary and targeted repairs to concrete surfaces, sometimes deemed urgent, because corrosion has a tendency to spread. It is beneficial and cost-effective to act proactively to limit water infiltration (and therefore chlorides) that causes corrosion. If the concrete disintegrates, the steel reinforcement and structure can be affected.
We are also experts in the application of protective architectural coatings. These coatings not only extend the life of concrete facades, they also protect them against the elements that contribute to their deterioration, and greatly enhance their aesthetic appeal.
For these interventions, our team repairs and protects the following concrete structures:
- Concrete walls and facades
- Concrete balconies;
- Concrete beams and columns;
- Precast concrete panels;
- Underground and multi-storey car parks.
For parking garages specifically, we can demolish and rebuild them, or repair them by filling cracks, protecting the surface and waterproofing the concrete with membranes.
Our team also performs the following specialized work to protect any concrete surface:
- Injection of epoxy, polyurethane or cementitious grout;
- Structural reinforcement with carbon reinforcement strips, carbon laminates and carbon fabrics.
Why reinforce concrete structures with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP)?
Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) is so strong that it is even used to reinforce bridges!
The many applications of CFRP
- Strengthening beams and slabs used in parking garages, preventing them from cracking or sagging;
- Strengthening concrete columns and beams to increase their load-bearing capacity and resistance to damage from earthquakes, corrosion and other environmental factors;
- Seismic retrofitting and reinforcement of shear walls (resistance to lateral loads);
- Reinforcement of structural elements following change of use of structure or building;
