At Shot Blast Inc., we’re often called in to prepare concrete surfaces for specialized coating systems on complex commercial construction projects. One recent project took us to The Piazza, where our team completed rooftop surface preparation to support an important phase of the building’s expansion.
Preparing the Roof for Temporary Waterproofing
The building originally had a temporary roof installed to protect the lower levels during construction. Once that temporary roof was removed, our crew prepared the concrete surface using our dust-controlled shot blasting equipment. Proper surface preparation was essential to ensure the temporary waterproof coating system achieved the strong bond needed to protect the building.
Supporting an Eight-Story Building Expansion
After the surface was prepared, a temporary waterproof coating system was installed to make the building watertight while construction continued. During this phase, the structure was expanded by adding eight additional stories, making weather protection critical throughout the construction process.
Returning After Construction Is Complete
Although the waterproofing system is currently protecting the lower floors, it is only temporary. Once construction is complete, Shot Blast Inc. will return to remove the temporary waterproof coating system so the project can move into its final stages.
