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 TURBO GROUT is a rapid-setting, high-performance cementitious grout designed for fast repair and anchoring applications. It develops high early strength, allowing quick return to service, making it ideal for urgent repair works and time-sensitive projects.
The product provides excellent bonding, non-shrink properties, and durable performance under load.
MAK INJECT 1C SOIL is a single-component polyurethane injection resin specially designed for soil stabilization, ground sealing, and water control applications. It reacts with moisture present in soil to form a rigid or semi-flexible foam, filling voids and binding loose soil particles to improve ground strength and reduce permeability.
The product is ideal for geotechnical and underground applications where soil consolidation and water ingress control are required.
MAK HYDRO INJECT 2K 902 is a two-component hydrophilic polyurethane injection resin designed for effective sealing of water-bearing cracks, joints, and voids in concrete structures. It reacts with water to form a flexible foam or gel, creating a durable and impermeable seal that stops water ingress.
The system is specially developed for controlled injection applications where flexibility and long-term sealing performance are required.
