Traffic Coatings

Traffic coating is a multi layered system of material applied to protect concrete from vehicular or pedestrian traffic. It’s used to defend against any moisture or chemicals that would ordinarily result in corrosion of the reinforcing steel and deterioration of the concrete substrate. Traffic coatings also include light-reflective material, slip-resistant properties to help with pedestrians and cars, and construction joint treatments that allow for thermal contraction and expansion protection.

Proper use of traffic coatings in parking garages, plazas, balconies, or other walkways prolongs the structure’s lifespan and guard against water infiltration into tenant space. It can also reduce the cost of long-term concrete repair or restoration services. LRT’s services are efficient, ensuring minimal downtime for parking facilities or wherever the project takes place.
