Refurbishment of a multi-storey car park
For the second refurbishment of the Bern Car Park the structural engineers specified type EN 1.4003 ferritic stainless steel for the reinforcement and an additional surface coating. The added fresh concrete layer could be kept to a minimum and did not add to the overall height of the slab. Despite a concrete cover of only 15 mm, the combination of stainless steel reinforcement and the surface coating of the parking decks provided a reliable solution for the next 50 years.
