It may seem a little SPOOKY to you, but we are not SCARED! The SureCoat Roof System was installed as a waterproofing protection and prevention system to the underground sump of the Fire Training Tower for the City of Downey.
Downey, California – The SureCoat Roof System was used by local approved contractor, JemStar Construction, to waterproof the underground water holding sump and the inside walls for the City of Downey’s Fire Training Tower. The city’s main concern was to keep water from permeating through the water containing sump and into the surrounding ground.
Fire Training Tower in the city of Downey, California, USA.
This was not the City of Downey’s first attempt to eradicate this issue. The sump of this concrete tower had hairline cracks that were allowing for water seepage through all sides of the walls. The products previously used as an attempt to stop the issue failed.
Other cities have this same problem with their fire training towers. Some are so bad that the water intrusion into the ground has caused erosion to the point that the fire training towers are leaning. This water erosion has caused the surrounding ground to become unstable and unable to support the tower any longer in this condition. The training towers that have reached to this point must undergo more major construction to restabilize the ground before waterproofing the sump and putting the training towers back in service.
