2.THERE SOLUTIONS:

 Admixture: An admixture is a material other than water, aggregates, or cement which is

used as an ingredient of concrete or mortar to control setting and early hardening,
workability, or to provide additional qualities to concrete.

 Adhesives: a substance used for sticking objects or materials together.

 Concrete repair: Concrete repair is the process of fixing a hardened concrete surface that
over time has lost the ability to hold the binding concrete materials together due to damage

or environmental exposure. Concrete repair is appropriate for cracks, physical impacts,

chipped out surfaces or surface scaling.

 Joint solutions.

 Water proofing: Waterproofing is the process of making an object or

structure waterproof or water-resistant so that it remains relatively unaffected by water or
resisting the ingress of water under specified conditions. Such items may be used in wet
environments or underwater to specified depths.

 Grouts and Anchors: Grouts are versatile construction materials used for structural
stabilization and load transfer. Master Builder Solutions offers a complete line of
cementations and polymer-based grouting materials for precision machinery, grouting and
anchoring.

 Cement additives: Cement additives are materials added to cement for the optimization of
the cement properties and the cement grinding process. Cement additives are classified into
different product groups such as grinding aids, strength enhancers and performance
enhancers.

 Protective coating: Protective Coatings. Protective coatings are a simple way to reduce
corrosion, by limiting the exposure of the metal to a corrosive environment. Paint is a very
common protective coating, but tar, pitch, bitumen and plastics are also used.

 Industrial flooring.

3.WATER PROOFING SOLUTIONS:

 Torch on: Torch on membrane is an excellent waterproofing solution on flat rooftops.

Membranes are used as the topmost coating, covering the outermost surface of the actual
roofing system. ... Torch on membrane is also known as an effective waterproofing process
because it commonly uses strong mixtures like polymers and bitumen.

 Spray applied: Podium deck / Terrace Polyurea WHE110 & WPE110

 Liquid applied: Roof / Balcony / Podium deck Nitoproof Membranes

 Self applied.

 Pre applied.

 Loose laid.

 Swell bars.

 Re inject able hose.

 Roofing membranes.

Below ground water proofing:

 Resistance to high water table.

 Resistance to aggressive ground salts and chemicals.

 Confirming to BS 8102.

 Resistance to roots.

 Easy and quick installation.

 Withstand differential settlement.

 Protection screed not mandatory.

 Crack bridging.

 Durable.

Below-ground waterproofing:

Fosroc offers one of the most comprehensive ranges in below-ground waterproofing,

providing leak-free buildings around the world. These systems are manufactured to the
highest quality standards backed by independent test certificates. For below-ground
structures where the exterior face of the structural concrete is inaccessible, the
waterproofing must be applied prior to pouring the concrete. Conventional systems are
either loose-laid or self-adhering to the substrate not the structural concrete, this means
there is no seal between the waterproofing and the structural concrete which can lead to
water travelling between the waterproofing and the structure from any leakages that may
occur. BS8102:2009 highlights this problem and recommends that a fully-bonded pre-
applied waterproofing system be used to mitigate this risk. A similar problem occurs where
ground settlement takes place. Fosroc have developed an innovative system, Proofex
Engage, which incorporates a unique cell mesh which mechanically bonds to freshly placed
concrete giving a tenacious waterproof seal, preventing water migration even if ground

settlement occurs. It is installed rapidly with no need for priming or protection and can be
trafficked immediately after application. It is also gas resistant and highly durable and is
unaffected by contaminants within the ground. Quality is assured through BBA and
EN13967:2004 and the system is suitable for use in accordance with BS8102:2009 Grades
1, 2 and 3. • Rapid installation no priming or protection required. • Assured watertight
integrity even in the event of ground settlement. • No water-tracking. • Easy jointing and
compatible full range of ancillaries. • Integrity assured at pile caps. • Excellent solution for
precast concrete. • Protects structure against ground contaminants. • Long term watertight
durability

Above-ground waterproofing:

Flat/sloping roofs that are trafficked can be easily waterproofed by using either a spray or
liquid-applied membrane to give seamless protection and rapid return to service times.
Polyurea WHE110 & WPE110 are an excellent solution for waterproofing flat roofs where
upstands are prevalent due to a high number of air-conditioning units / pipes / turbines etc.
The seamless waterproofing integrity achieved gives peace of mind and application times
are rapid allowing services to be installed quickly and returned back to service in the
shortest times possible.
