Case study: Gatwick South Terminal refurbishment
A system-led supply-and-install approach
Polyurethane systems offer different balances of flexibility, wear resistance and weather performance. We specify the complete build-up for the deck rather than treating all polyurethane coatings as interchangeable.
What shapes the specification?
- Required crack-bridging performance
- Exposure and topcoat suitability
- Traffic and aggregate texture
Typical installation scope
The final scope is confirmed against the site condition, selected system and agreed programme.
- Primer and preparation
- Specified polyurethane layers
- Compatible wearing finish
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
Are all polyurethane systems crack bridging?
No. Performance depends on the particular products, layer build-up and test conditions. Confirm the selected system’s crack-bridging data rather than treating the resin family as a performance rating.
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.
