Sainsbury’s Car Park – Lombardy Retail Park

This ‘out-of-town’ retail park redevelopment required the car parking facilities to be changed from a ground floor car park to a multi-storey. The multi-storey car park design used waterproofing methods that meant there were numerous processes. A simpler solution was sort and Xypex Admix was selected to help ‘value engineer’ the waterproofing to one single process. Due to the unique abilities of the Xypex system, the placement of the car park deck could be reduced to just two procedures: installing the steelwork and placing the concrete.

Xypex Admix C-1000 NF was used to ensure the concrete was completely waterproof over the composite deck. As Xypex places no restriction upon the contractor as to the size or aspect ratio of the pours, the concrete was placed in large bays between a proprietary movement joints.
