Limestone Street Car Park Ipswich

LIMESTONE ST IPSWICH CAR PARK

The Limestone Street car park situated at Ipswich had numerous issues.  Water was leaking into retail and office space below the car park each time it rained, the existing metal car park expansion joints were creating significant noise for the building’s tenants and surrounding buildings, as they were continually becoming loose and the car park’s concrete slabs where the car park expansion joints were installed had cracked and spooled concrete.

Heard Group was engaged to remove the failed existing metal car park expansion joint system and replace it with CPSX Carpark Expansion Joint.  This car park expansion joint system was a perfect solution for the issues the car park had, in that no noise is made when motor vehicles traverse the car park expansion joint, it is a 100% water barrier, stopping all the water leaks into retail and offices below and it is safe for pedestrians to traverse as it’s installed flush to the concrete slabs in the expansion joint gap.

CPSX Carpark Expansion Joint is a preformed cross linked closed cell foam installed into the expansion joint gap together with an epoxy adhesive that prevents water and debris from penetrating the expansion joint gap.  An elastomeric rubber strand topping is installed on top of the water seal to increase point loading, prevent puncturing to the water seal and to create a high wear resistant finish on the exposed surface.

The cracked and spooled concrete was repaired using PNSX Polymer Nosing.  This three part epoxy product is more efficient than concrete in its ability to expand and contract in thermal movement and will remain permanently bonded to the concrete giving the concrete further longevity.
