THE PROJECT
Qatars popular meeting spot Souq Waqif, which is also the countrys most
crowded spot, has now got a newly developed underground parking facility that
can accommodate 2,000 cars at a time. Finding parking has always been a hassle
at Souq Waqif, due to it being a top tourist destination in Doha and with the
increasing vehicles on the road, it was clear that traffic was on the rise and the
need of a car parking infrastructure was critical.
THE SOLUTION
The scope of specification was an epoxy coating system with 400 microns smooth
finish for the parking areas and rough finish for the ramps which would be
hardwearing, abrasion resistant and aesthetically good.
Fosroc proposed the whole system of Nitoflor FC150 with the primer, crack filler
and antislip aggregates: (Nitoprime25 + 2 coats of Nitoflor FC150 with Antislip
aggregates No 2) the same spec fitted exactly with Nitoflor FC150 system and
this system was approved by the consultant.
THE BENEFITS
Client and consultant were delighted by the quality of work and on time delivery.
This project posed significant challenges as it is an important tourist attraction
spot in Qatar.
Further, the client was impressed not only with our high quality solutions, but
also with Fosroc technical support and professional project management. The
