Coatings Contribute to 1000+ Year Lifespan
How do you construct a concrete temple, walkway, and fountain to last 1000+ years and withstand a 10.0 earthquake outside of Los Angeles? Build to “the extreme,” as Innovative Painting & Waterproofing President Don Dancey described it. For instance, “instead of 14 inches [36 cm] of concrete, it’s 20 inches [51 cm] of concrete.” That’s quite the way to make things last! But for the folks at this Hindu place of worship, it was worth it, as it was a labor of love.
