The Covington High School Stadium in Covington, LA, suffered from years of neglected maintenance. The expansion joints failed and leaked into the lower concourse as well as restroom and concession areas. After 20 years of exposure to the elements, soft drinks and chewing gum, the concrete surface was cleaned using hydro blasting equipment. Mechanical grinders were used on the gum and heavily soiled areas.

To protect the 33,000-square-foot concrete surface against moisture intrusion, a three-coat Sonneborn deck coating system was installed. Prior to the deck coating application, the crew installed an Emseal preformed expansion joint system in the lower walkway area. A specialty color matched elastomeric coating was applied to the rear parapet, complete with a stenciling of the school's logo.
