SITUATION
When Paric Construction landed the 2015 renovation project of the St. Louis Arcade Building, they chose Ram Board to help protect their jobsite. Paric’s crew needed to cover over 200,000 sq. ft. of freshly renovated concrete floors on over 19 stories. Paric was working with a deadline and could not afford to allow the floors to fully breathe and cure before beginning renovation on other parts of the building. They had to ensure the floors cured evenly while remaining adequately protected during months of continued construction.
SOLUTION
Paric construction installed Ram Board on the floors of the entire building.
Every room, every story, every floor was coated with Ram Board which protected the floors but also allowed them to breathe and cure. This enabled Paric and other contractors to continue working on top of the Ram Board on the remainder of the building instead of sitting and waiting for the concrete to fully cure. Ram Board was down for months standing up to foot traffic, forklifts, wheel barrels and more. Paric also used the Vapor-Cure Tape to ensure the concrete cured evenly throughout, eliminating any curing or “ghosting” lines. Upon completion, The St. Louis Arcade Building was voted “Most Enhanced St. Louis Building of 2016”
