Where each walk sits in the schedule
- Vehicular traffic coating rough-in inspection checklistrough-in
- After the concrete has cured and been shotblasted, before priming, while cracks and terminations are still open and can still be routed and detailed. Run by: The coating foreman walking the deck ahead of the primer crew, or the GC's superintendent releasing each pour or bay for coating.
- Vehicular traffic coating final inspection checklistfinal
- After all coats are down and cured and any specified flood or spray test is complete, before the deck is striped and opened to vehicles. Run by: The GC's superintendent with the coating foreman, walking each completed bay before it opens to traffic.
- Vehicular traffic coating punch checklistpunch
- During closeout, after the coating has seen its first traffic and the first weather, which is when thin spots and detail failures show. Run by: The coating foreman on a callback, or the GC's superintendent closing deck punch items before turnover.
What most often sends vehicular traffic coating work back
- Coating applied over a deck that hadn't reached the moisture level the primer needs, so the base coat blisters off within weeks.
- Moving cracks skimmed over with base coat instead of being routed and pre-detailed, and they telegraph straight back through the wear course.
- Drains and the termination reglet left undetailed because the crew wanted to keep the spray running, leaving the edge open to water behind the membrane.
- Wet-film thickness never checked during application, so the base or wear coat comes in thin and the system wears through early at the drive lanes.
- Aggregate broadcast to refusal in the ramp but skipped in the flatter bays, leaving slick areas where the wear course has no grip.
- Deck opened to traffic before the top coat had fully cured, printing tire marks and picking up the coating at turns.
- Blisters ground off and patched at the surface while the trapped moisture that caused them is left in the slab, so they come back next season.
- Delamination reopening along a crack that was never routed, patched as a surface defect instead of being cut out and re-detailed.
