Westpark Shopping Center was built in 1986. The concrete stairway leading to the professional offices on the second level began to show their age; stair treads, riser faces, and other miscellaneous areas exhibited considerable spalling and needed significant structural repairs.
Kaufman’s SurePoxy HM EPL was selected to not only treat any reinforcing steel exposed during repair preparations but was also used as an epoxy bonding agent. Duracrete II VOFT was selected as the repair mortar due to its ease of use and quick cure times leading to minimal disruption to tenants, which was a huge consideration in selecting the repair materials.
After completing the repairs, stairs were coated with a commercially available, exterior masonry coating.
