Are our car parks fit for the vehicles of the future - A Sika Specialist Report

The UK has an ever-aging stock of Multi-Storey Car Parks (MSCPs), much of which were constructed from reinforced concrete in the 1960s and 1970s. Although many of these structures still serve the public today, a large number have exceeded their original design life and require an ever increasing level of investment to operate. Although there are examples of well-built, well-maintained car parks, many have structural defects ‘baked in’ due to issues with design, materials and workmanship; all of which has been exacerbated by years of neglect and the increased demands placed on them by owners and operators. Sika has been transforming car park environments for over 40 years. It offers a single source solution, enabling refurbishment work to be carried out with minimum disruption.
