The surfaces at NTPC Barh were heavily weathered and damaged, creating several challenges:
• Fungal and bacterial growth due to prolonged moisture exposure.
• Cracking and dust formation weakening the concrete substrate.
• Large-scale surface repairs required before coating application.
• High elevation work areas, causing logistical and safety difficulties during material shifting and application.
• Additionally, due to the scale of the project, maintaining cost efficiency and product performance was critical for long-term maintenance planning.
Makphalt proposed Mak Elastothane EMB, a high-elongation, eco-friendly,
polyurethane-based elastomeric membrane designed for heavy-duty
waterproofing and weather protection.
Damaged concrete areas were repaired to ensure sound
substrate for coating adhesion.
A total of 35 tonnes of Mak Elastothane EMB was applied by BEM
Enterprises, ensuring uniform film thickness and seamless waterproofing.
For high-elevation work zones, workers were secured with
ropes and harnesses, and material movement was carefully planned to ensure
safety and efficiency.
• Enhanced Durability: The coating provided a long-lasting barrier against moisture, dust, and fungal attack.
• Cost Efficiency: Reduced consumption and fast application ensured significant cost savings compared to competitors.
• Improved Aesthetics & Protection: The treated surfaces were revitalized, offering both aesthetic improvement and functional waterproofing.
• Client Satisfaction: NTPC appreciated Makphalt’s technical support, on-site safety management, and the superior performance of Mak Elastothane EMB under challenging site conditions.
