AUDUBON, NEW JERSEY

Project History
Audubon High School grandstand was built in 1936.
Physical wear, corrosion of steel reinforcing, deicing salts,
acid rain and freeze/thaw cycling all played a role
in spalling and deterioration of concrete surfaces.
The architect, structural engineer and school district
formulated a repair strategy designed to restore the
structural elements, update the appearance and
incorporate protective measures to extend the useful
life of the stadium. Extensions to widen each of the steps
on the main stair aisles were poured to bring them up to
code. Conpro Primer was applied first to the existing
concrete to improve adhesion. Once the repairs were
complete Elastideck and Super Color Stain HR system
was used on the treads and risers to prevent water entry.
Color Coat was used to coat the soffit of the grandstand,
concrete columns supporting the grandstand and
the various knee walls around the grandstand.
