Concrete Step Repair

Staircases in college sports stadiums and facilities endure heavy foot traffic, making them prone to wear and damage over time. The leading edge of the stair tread, known as the “nosing,” is particularly vulnerable, and even minor damage like cracks, chips, or gaps can pose significant tripping hazards. Addressing these issues promptly is critical for maintaining safety and ensuring compliance with accessibility standards.

Repairing stair nosings with a two-part epoxy adhesive is an efficient and effective solution. This method involves filling in damaged or worn areas with the epoxy, which bonds securely to materials like concrete, wood, or metal. When applied correctly, it restores the integrity of the nosing, creating a strong and durable repair that can withstand the demands of high-traffic areas.

Unlike traditional concrete repairs that may require extensive forming and preparation, epoxy repairs are faster and easier to apply, minimizing downtime and disruption. Check out our range of high-quality epoxy solutions below to find the ideal product for restoring safety and durability to your stairs. These options are perfect for tackling minor damage with minimal effort while keeping your sports facilities safe and functional.

General Concrete Repair

Concrete is the backbone of large-scale structures like stadiums, walkways, parking decks, and pedestrian bridges, making it a key component of any college sports facility. While reinforced concrete is cost-effective, durable, and tough enough to handle heavy loads and frequent use, it’s not immune to damage. Addressing visible damage promptly is critical, but even more important is tackling the hidden risk of rebar corrosion that can compromise the structural integrity over time.

Visible damage, like cracks or spalling, is easy to ignore if it doesn’t immediately pose a hazard or disrupt operations. However, delaying repairs can lead to escalating problems, particularly as water and environmental contaminants seep into the concrete and reach the rebar. Corrosion of the reinforcing steel weakens the structure from within, creating long-term safety and maintenance challenges.

Repairing concrete in these environments doesn’t just restore the surface — it also protects the structure from further damage. Using repair materials with built-in corrosion inhibitors can help prevent rebar corrosion and extend the life of the structure, providing a cost-effective, long-lasting solution.

With the right materials and timely action, you can ensure the safety and longevity of your sports facilities, keeping them ready for game day and beyond.

Non-Slip Surfaces

Sports stadiums and arenas on college campuses are designed to handle heavy foot traffic during events, often under a variety of weather conditions. Rain, snow, or ice doesn’t stop the game, but it can create safety concerns in spectator areas. Ensuring surfaces are slip-resistant is critical to maintaining a safe environment for fans and athletes alike.

Creating non-slip surfaces doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. For quick and effective results, consider using a polyaspartic coating system. Simply roll on the coating, broadcast sand into the wet surface, and follow up with a sealing coat 2-3 hours later. The area can handle foot traffic within 3-4 hours, but for best results, plan for 8 hours of downtime before reopening. This method is ideal for addressing immediate safety concerns with minimal disruption.

For a longer-lasting, more durable solution, opt for a multi-step traffic urethane system. This approach offers superior protection and performance but requires more time for installation and curing. Expect the process to take up to a week, making it a better choice for scheduled maintenance during off-peak times.

We offer a variety of non-slip surface solutions that provide the right balance between efficiency and durability for your sports facilities. By choosing the right system, you can ensure the safety and enjoyment of your spectators, no matter the weather.

Asphalt Crack Sealing

If you manage asphalt paving, addressing cracks is an inevitable part of maintenance. Cracks, if left untreated, allow water infiltration that accelerates pavement deterioration, leading to larger and costlier repairs. While there are plenty of crack sealing options available, selecting the right material is key — especially if your crew isn’t performing these repairs daily.

Here are the benefits you should look for in a crack sealing material:

Prevents Pavement Deterioration: A good sealant effectively blocks water infiltration, slowing down deterioration and significantly extending the lifespan of your asphalt.
Ease of Use: Materials that can be applied manually or pumped directly into cracks make the process quick and straightforward. Look for a self-leveling formula that ensures thorough and even filling with minimal preparation.
Environmentally Friendly: Choose options that don’t require solvents for cleanup, offering a safer and more eco-friendly application process.
Increased Safety: Modern formulations minimize waste and reduce risks like burns, making the repair process safer for your crew.

Expansion Joint Sealing

Keeping joints sealed is essential for maintaining safety and durability in high-traffic areas. On large campuses or in facilities with significant foot traffic, it’s not uncommon for sealant in the busiest walkways to wear down over time. Missing or damaged sealant can lead to issues like water infiltration, surface damage, and increased maintenance costs. Addressing these areas with the right materials can save time and resources in the long run.

For areas that require frequent resealing, consider upgrading to a “Traffic Grade” sealant. While standard sealants perform well under typical foot traffic, traffic-grade sealants are specifically engineered for even greater durability, originally designed to withstand the wear and tear of vehicular traffic. These advanced sealants maintain the flexibility needed for joint movement while providing enhanced resistance to the heavy impact of constant pedestrian use.

By choosing a traffic-grade sealant, you’ll extend the lifespan of repairs and reduce the need for frequent maintenance, even in the busiest areas. Check out our selection of high-performance joint sealants below to find the ideal solution for your high-traffic spaces. Keep your walkways secure, functional, and looking their best for years to come.

Traditional urethane systems, while effective, are complex and time-consuming. They often require multiple layers of different materials, each applied in separate steps. For maintenance professionals who don’t work with these systems daily, mastering their application can be challenging. As a result, larger projects are typically handled by contractors.

However, smaller repairs or isolated areas needing attention present a unique challenge. These minor issues might not justify mobilizing a contractor, yet they still require a durable and efficient solution. Fortunately, a new type of urethane coating material is available, designed for single-application use. This innovative solution eliminates the complexity of multi-coat systems, making it faster and easier to address small repairs without compromising on quality.

Check out our range of advanced urethane deck coatings, including this streamlined option for quick and effective repairs. It’s the perfect choice for maintaining operational efficiency across your facility’s diverse structures.

Asphalt Patching

Being good at patching your asphalt roadways is something that’s not going to win any awards. But, it sure will keep the complaints at bay. Most of the time you have a cold patch bag material that’s approved for temporary patching. The problem is, it’s very temporary. If the conditions aren’t right and the tamping isn’t near perfect, you’re going to go back to that same hole again. To be the best option a material would have to address each of the following criteria.

All-Season – Works in all seasons and all climates.
Applied in water – Can be added to water-filled potholes and areas.
Bonds Permanently – To asphalt, concrete, steel, wood, and other hard surfaces.
