Concrete Restoration, Waterproofing & Painting

This project involved comprehensive exterior concrete restoration, waterproofing, surface preparation, and painting to restore deteriorated façade areas and improve the building envelope’s long-term durability.

The restoration process included accessing elevated façade areas using suspended scaffolding and rope-access platforms, carefully removing loose, cracked, and delaminated concrete and stucco to expose sound substrate. Deteriorated concrete sections revealed exposed and corroded reinforcement, which were properly prepared before the damaged areas were rebuilt using Sika 123 repair mortar and Spec Mix masonry materials.

Cracked and deteriorated façade sections were repaired through selective demolition, substrate preparation, concrete patching, and reconstruction. Particular attention was given to horizontal bands, structural/concrete elements, corners, parapets, and other areas exhibiting deterioration and water-related damage.

Following the concrete restoration, repaired areas were waterproofed and protected against moisture intrusion. Sika Thorocoat-400 was applied as part of the exterior protective coating system to provide a durable weather-resistant finish and help protect the restored façade from moisture and environmental exposure.

Surface preparation included removal of failing coatings, cleaning, patching, and preparation of the façade to provide a suitable substrate for the new coating system. The façade was then professionally painted, restoring a uniform appearance while providing additional protection against weather exposure and future surface deterioration.

Scope of Work Included:

  1. 01Concrete and stucco deterioration removal
  2. 02⁠Selective demolition of loose and delaminated material
  3. 03⁠Exposure and preparation of deteriorated reinforcement
  4. 04⁠Concrete and façade patch restoration
  5. 05Crack and spall repairs
  6. 06Corner, band, and architectural feature restoration
  7. 07⁠Waterproofing and moisture protection
  8. 08⁠Application of Sika 123 repair material
  9. 09⁠Spec Mix masonry restoration
  10. 10⁠Application of Sika Thorocoat-400 protective coating
  11. 11⁠⁠Surface preparation and removal of failing coatings
  12. 12⁠⁠Exterior painting and color matching
  13. 13⁠⁠Elevated access using suspended scaffolding/rope-access equipment
  14. 14⁠⁠Final cleanup and restoration of work areas

The completed work restored the deteriorated façade while providing a durable combination of concrete repair, masonry restoration, waterproofing, protective coating, and exterior painting, significantly improving both the appearance and weather resistance of the building envelope.

Materials Used

  • Sika 123 – Used for concrete and façade repair applications, including patching deteriorated and damaged concrete areas.
  • ⁠Spec Mix – Used for masonry repair and restoration work as required throughout the façade.
  • ⁠Sika Thorocoat-400 – Used as a protective exterior coating to provide weather resistance and help protect the restored façade from moisture and environmental exposure.
