Case study: Gatwick South Terminal refurbishment
A system-led supply-and-install approach
Intermediate decks need abrasion resistance and practical surface texture. Water carried in by vehicles, movement in suspended slabs and the condition of joints inform whether a rigid coating or a more flexible system is appropriate.
What shapes the specification?
- Suspended slab movement
- Water and de-icing salt exposure
- Tyre noise and traction
Typical installation scope
The final scope is confirmed against the site condition, selected system and agreed programme.
- Surface preparation
- Compatible traffic coating
- Parking bay and walkway finishes
Planning the work
We consider the project location, access, preparation requirements, application conditions and the time needed before reopening. On operational car parks, the brief should identify areas that can close and routes that need to remain available.
Frequently asked questions
Do internal decks still need waterproofing?
Sheltered decks can receive water and de-icing salts carried in by vehicles. The need for waterproofing and crack bridging depends on the structure, exposure and project brief rather than shelter alone.
Can you quote from plans and photographs?
Plans, photographs and approximate deck areas can support an initial assessment. A firm scope may require a site survey, substrate tests or further investigation.
How long will the car park need to close?
The closure depends on preparation, repairs, system choice, weather and curing requirements. Return-to-service timing is agreed for the specific installation.
Do you supply and install in the UK and Europe?
UK and European projects can be considered on a supply-and-install basis. We confirm delivery feasibility, local requirements and the programme during the enquiry stage.
