PROBLEM
The city of Milwaukee-Plankenton Avenue Parking Ramp was deteriorating and the steel rebar was corroding from deicing salt being carried on automobiles. The ramp is located in the heart of downtown Milwaukee and is a valuable source of revenue. The city wanted a fast and economical way to renovate and protect the parking ramp with the least amount of downtime. The specifying engineer and the city wanted to renovate the structure with the best products and procedures. MCI®-2020 was an important part of the renovation system.
APPLICATION
MCI®-2020 was applied to the concrete decks by the renovation contractor at the rate of 150 square feet per gallon (4m/L2).
CONCLUSION
The MCI® migrated through the concrete to form a protective, corrosion-inhibiting barrier on the structural steel. MCI®-2020 was chosen as part of the system because its corrosion inhibiting properties would extend the life of the structure and reduce maintenance.
