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.
MAK PREMIX is an instant road repair compound manufactured using a blend of bitumen, graded aggregates, and high-grade polymers. It ensures immediate bonding with the existing road surface and allows fast, durable repairs without the need for heating or curing. It is ideal for quick restoration of traffic-worthy pavements in heavily trafficked areas.
Applications
Repair of potholes on roads and highways
Utility cut repairs in urban pavements
Airfield and industrial pavement maintenance
Emergency repairs in hot, cold, rainy, or adverse weather conditions
