The campus of UNC-Chapel Hill is bustling with activity 24 hours a day, seven days a week, as are the parking decks that serve all the employees, students, and visitors to the campus' buildings and hospital. The UNC Facility Department faced the daunting task of cleaning, sealing and re-striping their parking decks with the knowledge that such surface maintenance is paramount in keeping larger, more expensive repairs at bay. This was the challenge: facility managers required that the public, employees, doctors and staff who use the parking structures remain relatively undisturbed throughout the repair process. These repairs had to be completed on 6 decks, with a total of over 50,000 parking spaces.

EDS worked with the Engineering Department of UNC to implement a night schedule that would take advantage of the minimal congestion on the parking deck. The UNC facility department granted a certain amount of parking areas to be cleaned, sealed and re-striped each night, with certain time constraints involved.

EDS worked diligently to complete this tightly scheduled project on time and within budget. Our crew also recognized several other structural concerns and addressed them with the UNC facility team while they were on-site. By cleaning and sealing the flat surfaces of the parking decks, EDS ensured that future major cracking and spalling is minimized.

EDS handled the time constraints and finished with time to spare. Our team performed the repairs exactly to specifications and to the delight of the UNC Engineering and Facility Department.

UNC knows that if and when there are more serious projects to be performed on their decks, they will certainly involve EDS to get the job done right, on time, and within budget. Let EDS help you with your ongoing maintenance or repairs of your parking structures. All parking decks have a certain element of scheduling and time constraints.  With EDS on your team, however, you can rest assured that the project will be handled with very minimal inconvenience to tenants and without loss of revenue derived from the parking structure.

"UNC has six parking decks, all of which are constantly busy. EDS was able to clean and re-stripe all six decks, amounting to over 50,000 parking spaces, without having to close off an entire deck for any period of time. They did their job as requested; arranged for the recapture, filtration, and proper disposal of the waste water; and still completed this massive project on-time and on-budget.

I have absolutely nothing but praise for EDS, their work crew, supervisors, and office staff. They are a wonderful company to work with!"
