<p>A system and a method are disclosed for controlling structural deterioration of a vehicle parking structure (14) by arresting deterioration caused by road salt erosion and corrosion of concrete floors and reinforcing steel in that structure. The invention includes spray washing the underside of vehicles (12) prior to entry into the parking structure (14) to remove road salt and thereby reduce road salt corrosive action within the facility. The invention further comprises arresting corrosion due to road salt which already has penetrated the concrete floors within the parking structure (14) by the application of a chemical detergent which neutralizes the road salt that previously has penetrated the concrete.</p> |
