Chase Bank Building

Situation

Some concrete floors in the Chase Bank Building were in need of re-leveling. The outer perimeter of some walls had settled lower than the middle floor areas. The building owner wanted the floors to be exceptionally flat and smooth.

Solution

ARDEX LevelMaster Elite Installer®, Advanced Leveling & Concrete Solutions, identified all areas requiring leveling. They shot blasted the floor to a minimum CSP#3. After the floor was prepped to a clean, sound substrate, ARDEX P 51™ Primer was applied. After ARDEX P 51™ had dried for three hours, the installer placed the ARDEX leveling pins on top of the primer. A laser was used to trim the leveling pins to the correct height. The installers poured a mixture of pea gravel and ARDEX K 15® Premium Self-Leveling Underlayment to deep fill the area needing the most fill.

After letting the ARDEX K 15® dry for a minimum of 16 hours, Advanced Leveling & Concrete Solutions primed the exposed ARDEX K 15® with ARDEX P 51™ primer. They waited a minimum of three hours then poured ARDEX K 15® to produce a smooth level surface. ARDEX SD-P® Self-Drying, Fast Setting Concrete Underlayment was used to slope from the new height of the now flat floor to the existing tile. Advanced Leveling & Concrete Solutions used dust containment devices during each phase of the project, leaving the job site contaminate-free. The Chase Bank Building project manager was impressed with the attention to detail of Advanced Leveling & Concrete Solutions and the performance of the ARDEX products.
