First Impressions Begin in the Parking Lot A facilities manager manages several types of properties—hospitals, municipal buildings, and commercial spaces, to name a few. He’s walked a few concrete decks in his time and knows how quickly they can go from crisp and clean to crumbling and cracked. He’s also been burned before. A budget contractor promised durability, but within a year, there were potholes forming in the parking garage, and water was leaking down onto the employee cars below. Now, the facilities manager’s not just looking for a fix—he’s looking for a partner who can prevent it from happening again . The Problem with Parking Decks Concrete is tough—but it’s not invincible. Especially in parking garages and lots that face: Daily vehicle traffic Seasonal freeze-thaw cycles Rain, UV rays, and pooling water Oil, fuel, and chemical leaks Over time, water seeps into microcracks. When temperatures drop, water expands, forcing the concrete to fracture. Rusting rebar exacerbates the decay, and before long, the surface looks like a moonscape. ACP’s advanced concrete applications are the first—and best—line of defense. Our systems are built to block water intrusion, prevent freeze-thaw damage, and withstand heavy loads and spills.

They had a multi-level garage where water seeped down every time it rained. Staff and visitors complained about slipping, and structural engineers warned of long-term damage. ACP installed a moisture-blocking, skid-resistant system over one weekend. The result? Dry, safe, and clean decks. the facilities manager-style decision makers on the hospital board were thrilled—not only did it solve the problem, it enhanced the appearance and reduced future liabilities.
