DURABUILD 's Innovative Waterproofing Solution
to protect roof of India's leading automobile
manufacturer for a decade

Product Used
Waterproofing treatments on building roofs in India which are
exposed to the vagaries of climate such as extreme heat and UV
exposure, wind loads and monsoons face high stresses. These
conditions along with the mechanical vibrations, which are
common in industries, left the Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (MSIL) roof
waterproofing treatment badly deteriorated and leaking, causing
damage to their equipments and led to production losses. The
company was spending huge money annually for arresting the
leakages through cracks and open joints in damaged bituminous
membranes. Hence when MSIL decided to renew the roof
surface, they were looking for a lasting solution that would do
much more than waterproofing. D066 Durabuild Cool Roof D066 DURABUILD COOL

Cost and energy savings The waterproofing system employed

A major labour cost would have been incurred if
MSIL had to physically remove the entire
existing bituminous membrane and then install
fresh system. The idea of doing patch repair in
only affected areas was also ruled out owing to
uncertainty of performance of non-affected
areas in the long run leading to further
maintenance cost. The entire MSIL
maintenance team no longer could trust civil
contractors for their waterproofing
requirements and wanted a professional OEM
supplier whom they could rely for the entire
project management. It was no longer a
waterproofing job for MSIL; it was One Massive

Project worth 2,00,000 sqm and Durabuild was

Test Report on the Energy Efficiency of Durabuild
Cool Roof Coating tested at reputed CEPT, Ahmedabad
D066: Cool Roof
Coating
comprised of D180, a nano-technology based
primer to enhance the adhesion of the main
coating with the existing bituminous
membranes, and D066, a microfiber reinforced
acrylic polymer based waterproofing cum
insulation coating. The coating was reinforced
with glass fibre mesh for increasing the
abrasion resistance of the coating. The
seamless coating eliminates joints, which are
the main sources of leakages, and the special
fillers combined with the white colour and
borosilicate based hollow spheres technology
helps in less heat absorption thus increasing
the durability of the waterproofing system.
The system's robustness, flexibility, versatility
and compatibility with any substrate meant that
costs were saved on two counts - no need for
removing existing membrane system thereby
saving labour costs and presence of
microfibers meant system could take light foot
traffic; be left exposed saving protection

Durabuild - Our Solutions Perform
In accordance with our tagline 'Our Solutions Perform', Durabuild stressed on product innovation and quality, to meet the
requirement of MSIL. The completely treated areas provided MSIL with a more energy-efficient roof in addition to
addressing the waterproofing issues. The MSIL management needs to be lauded as well as they didn't fall for other
cheaper solutions floating in the market which look alike but don't perform half as good. By August 2018, the roof has
already successfully passed 4 mega monsoon tests since 2015 and roof still looks in great condition ready to battle more
monsoon tests. The solution given with an 8-year OEM warranty and completion of the projects in strict time schedules
has resulted in Durabuild becoming a trusted partner for MSIL for their pan-India waterproofing requirements.
