F osroc’s Nitodek FS flooring system was used with Renderoc HB45 repair mortar and Nitoseal MS600 joint sealant on the refurbishment of the terrace at Downpatrick Racecourse in November 2020, as part of a wider facelift plan. Downpatrick Racecourse is one of Northern Ireland’s most prestigious racecourses. Having been exposed to years of activity and adverse weather, the current precast concrete terrace was worn and in need of refurbishment. Rails set into masonry were rusting and causing some localised spalling, and water was leaking into the undercroft from the longitudinal and vertical joints, CELEBRATING 50 YEARS IN IRELAND FOSROC LOOKS BACK ON SOME OF THEIR HIGH PROFILE PROJECTS… Downpatrick Racecourse

as well as from the joints around the steel columns. Minor repairs were completed using Renderoc HB45 and Nitoseal MS600 was used to re-seal joints. The terraces were then prepared and the Nitodek FS PMMA deck surfacing system was applied throughout. This quickly resolved the leaking joints by providing a flexible seal and immediately enhanced the appearance of the whole structure. The Fosroc Nitodek FS System can be quickly applied and is fast curing (<60 mins per layer), keeping disruption to a minimum for a rapid return to service.
Following the correct preparation with Renderoc HB45 and Nitoseal MS600, the Nitodek FS System provided a fully waterproof, flexible and durable surface, with a safe non-slip finish to help safeguard spectators against accidents (think winners’ champagne spillages!) The superior durability will future-proof the exposed terraces from high footfall-related wear and tear and weather damage.
