Challenges
This project required extensive prep of deteriorating wood floors prior to installing a waterproof, cementitious urethane. Black Bear also needed to select the correct drain details quickly to make the job’s tight deadline. Scheduling and long distance coordination was a challenge which Black Bear managed with the general contractor and facilities manager.

Black Bear's Solution

It was determined that a waterproofing system was needed to provide greater protection from the wet spaces and food and liquid byproducts. With the kitchens situated adjacent to visitor areas of the facilities, Black Bear provider greater protection against moisture that could damage existing nearby structures. In addition, a cementitious urethane was engineered to upgrade their existing floors to a more durable and easily maintained solution for the high-traffic kitchens.
