StoCretec car park systems protect car park of Faculty of Medicine, University of Saint Joseph
St. Joseph University of Beirut (USJ) in the Republic of Lebanon opened the new "Raymond and Aïda Najjar" building of its Faculty of Medicine in February 2025. Rooted in Jesuit heritage, the university focuses on education, healing, and service. The name of the new faculty building honours Raymond Najjar for his exceptional commitment to education and medicine.

The new building for the USJ Medical School offers an underground car park for students and university staff. Approximately 130 parking spaces are available on four levels, covering a total area of 4,000 square metres. The levels are accessible via four ramps. The construction project team opted for StoCretec coating systems for the surface protection of the traffic areas as well as the walls of the underground car park. Technoproof, already experienced in the field of floor coatings, received intensive user training on the perfect use of the selected StoCretec systems at our training centre in Waldshut-Tiengen in the German Black Forest prior to the start of the project.

The tested StoFloor Traffic Elastic 590 EP multi-storey car park system was used on the ramps exposed to the elements. It offers excellent wear resistance while also being permeable to water vapour. The epoxy floor coating system is dynamically and statically crack-bridging and offers good bond performance to concrete substrates. The applicators applied StoFloor Traffic DV 100 to the interior ramps. This system is slip-resistant and also features excellent wear resistance. It is suitable for use on substrates with rising damp and is limited combustibility.

For the traffic areas, parking carpets, and wall surfaces, the construction project team selected StoFloor Traffic WL 100. This water-based car park system, which also has excellent water vapour permeability, is suitable for rising damp. It is low-emission* and benzyl alcohol-free.

The applicators used two coats of StoPox WL 100 EP sealing coat to the approximately 900 square metres of wall surface. It offers a wide range of colours, which was cleverly utilized in the Medical Faculty's underground parking garage to provide orientation through colour accents on the four parking levels. StoPox WL 100 was also used for the traffic markings.
