Souq Waqif Car Park, Qatar
a newly developed underground parking facility
THE PROJECT
Qatar’s popular meeting spot Souq Waqif, which is also the country’s 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 critica
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.
