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 POLYPLAST ULTRA B4500 is a heavy-duty, 4.5 mm thick, torch-applied waterproofing membrane manufactured with SBS-modified elastomeric bitumen and heavy-duty non-woven polyester core reinforcement. Its HMHDPE film underside enables heat welding, while the top surface is available in plain HMHDPE or mineral granule finish. It forms a durable, continuous waterproofing layer designed for structural and below-ground applications exposed to hydrostatic pressure.
The membrane is particularly suited for raft foundations, basement retaining walls, below-ground structures, podium decks and water-retaining structures, where high mechanical strength and reliable waterproofing performance are required.
MAK HYPERFLEX HYBRID POLYUREA is a two-component, 100% solids, solvent-free hybrid polyurea waterproofing membrane designed for high-performance waterproofing and protective coating applications. Applied using high-pressure heated spray equipment, it forms a seamless, highly durable membrane with exceptional flexibility, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, and weatherability.
The product is ideal for large-scale waterproofing, industrial flooring, infrastructure protection, and demanding environments requiring rapid curing and long-term durability.
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.
